Please test rsync-2.5.6pre2

[Dave Dykstra]

The second rsync-2.5.6 pre-release version is now available at:

    http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/preview/rsync-2.5.6pre2.tar.gz
    ftp://rsync.samba.org/pub/rsync/preview/rsync-2.5.6pre2.tar.gz
    rsync://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/preview/rsync-2.5.6pre2.tar.gz

There's also a corresponding '.sig' file that contains a gpg signature
of the file; the public key is available on the pgp keyservers.

This is a release candidate.  If no-one reports an urgent fixes within
the next few days, it will probably become version 2.5.6.

Known issues that will probably not get resolved before the release
unless a volunteer provides a solution:
    1.  The NetBSD i386 port is failing the chgrp test.   See build output
	on build.samba.org.
    2.  I just noticed that the cygwin chgrp test has timestamps off by
	two seconds.  Maybe --modify-window is supposed to be 1?


Changes since 2.5.5pre1:

  ENHANCEMENTS:

    * Set the default value of --modify-window to 2 on Cygwin.  (Max Bowsher)

    * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
      (Dave Dykstra)

  BUG FIXES:
  
    * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
      dups in a row. (Wayne Davison)

    * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
      broken.  (Dave Dykstra)

    * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
      (Sviatoslav Sviridov)

    * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
      when --relative-paths/-R is set.  (Craig Barratt)


  INTERNAL:

    * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
