I would prefer to say that I was mistaking (tough I committed one "ly" 
before), yes sorry.

we use rsync for a task where it is essential to commit from which of many 
sources the file will be copied (mainly overlaying a filesystem tree from 
many sources where some sources rule over others).

With our patch here rsync is *the tool* for this task, without it fails to 
be reliable for this task.
