Attached is the fix for all four cases in two formats: a metapatch to
ignore-case.diff and an equivalent extra patch to be applied after
ignore-case.diff .

I made my changes based on the current CVS rsync, but now that I think
of it, you would probably rather have a fixed version of rsync 2.6.9
because the CVS rsync is unstable.  Extra patches are much more likely
to apply correctly to a different version of the software than
metapatches, so I made an extra patch.  Extract rsync 2.6.9, apply
ignore-case.diff according to the instructions, and then apply
ignore-case-filters-extra.diff like this:

patch -p1 <path/to/ignore-case-filters-extra.diff

You should get a harmless warning about an offset of -24 lines.  If
you have trouble with this, you can use the pre-patched source package
I posted here:

Please reply if you have any questions.
