rsync on win32: a) slow, b) crashes

[Greger Cronquist]

Hi Scott,

On this mailinglist, there is a thread called "Rsync
performance increase through buffering". The first
post in that thread, by Craig Barratt, contains a
number of patches that increases the transfer speed *a
lot* under windows/cygwin. Applying this patch alone,
however, hangs rsync, so you need to apply another
patch mentioned at

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01155.html

(brought to my attention by Jim Kleckner). If you do
all that you get a much more stable and a lot faster
rsync under windows.

If you don't want to apply all the patches, contact
me, and I'll send you patched sources or a binary that
works for me under win2k (though I haven't tried the
patches under linux).

Regards, Greger
