Seemingly impossible bug: -v not always listing every copied file

[Kevin Korb]

It does seem impossible.  I would suggest adding --itemize-changes (-v
isn't really all that useful without it anyway).  If entries are still
missing then I would suspect that either log files are missing (maybe
duplicate file names replacing the occasional log file?) or something
other than rsync is doing things in the same dir.
