Hi

I use the compare dest option to calculate a residual difference directory of
files.. this has been very successful.

I noticed when running on a box with version 3.0.9 of rsync that this feature
was giving me different results to before.

Re-created on my Mac thus:

Note: The compare-dest test passed for both builds

phillyair:rsync philipc$ ls
rsync-2.6.9    rsync-3.0.9
phillyair:rsync philipc$ mkdir -p compare/src1 compare/src2
phillyair:rsync philipc$ cd compare/
phillyair:compare philipc$ touch src1/file1 src1/file2
phillyair:compare philipc$ touch src2/file1 src2/file2 src2/file3
phillyair:compare philipc$ ../rsync-2.6.9/rsync -av --size-only
--compare-dest=../src1/ ./src2/ dest1
building file list ... done
created directory dest1
./
file3

sent 165 bytes  received 60 bytes  450.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

phillyair:compare philipc$ rm -fr dest1
phillyair:compare philipc$ ../rsync-3.0.9/rsync -av --size-only
--compare-dest=../src1/ ./src2/ dest1
sending incremental file list
created directory dest1
./
file1
file2
file3

sent 118 bytes  received 40 bytes  316.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

I would expect just the difference to be in the dest directory as is the case
for rsync-2.6.9.
