This is now fixed in the git repository along with a couple other
glitches that I turned up in the itemized output. As a part of all the
fixing, I changed the itemized output of symlinks, devices, and special
files to put a 'c' into the checksum/change field. This ensures that
changes that are happening show up in the itemized output and are able
to be differentiated from the copying of unchanged items when using the
--copy-dest option.
