Hi

What should be the right exit code for vanished file in this scenario.

(1) Use inotify or other mechanism to check changed files and then
generate a file list.

(2) < file get deleted>

(3) run rsync with --files-from with the old list.

then send_file_list()->link_stat() will return errno 2 on some files and
then set exit code to 23.

but shall rsync return 24?
