In other runs where there's also nothing to do it looks like this:
receiving incremental file list
Number of files: 125
Number of files transferred: 0
Total file size: 25013819983 bytes
Total transferred file size: 0 bytes
Literal data: 0 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 2382
File list generation time: 0.001 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 63
Total bytes received: 2425
sent 63 bytes received 2425 bytes 4976.00 bytes/sec
total size is 25013819983 speedup is 10053786.17
The same numbers except for the transfer rate. Might be an
issue when rounding numbers so not visible from the stat output.
Doesn't bother me that much as long as it works correctly. I just
thought I report it here in case that gives a hint to a bug.
Thanks
