------- Additional Comments From wayned at samba.org  2004-12-01 00:43 -------
Rsync users exploit this space-splitting behavior to request multiple files from
a remote server, so it cannot be changed at this late date without causing
incompatibilities.

One work around is to use the --files-from option.  For instance, instead of
running this:

rsync -av remote:'/Some\ Path/To/Some\ File.txt' /dest

you could run this:

echo '/Some Path/To/Some File.txt' |
  rsync -av --files-from=- --no-relative remote:/ /dest

It's a little more complicated, but it does work with filesnames that contain
spaces.
