So, a big un-pox to the guys who wrote rsync, which un-sucks about as much as any piece of software could.

Oh, and likewise to the creators of Cygwin which lets me run rsync on Windows.

Hmm. "File has vanished". It's never said that to me before. Probably not a good sign.

Hmm hmm. Maybe I could delete some files? Half a million on this disk alone and still scanning like mad. No! Ack! Urk! What am I saying?! I haven't deleted anything since 1996 and I'm not about to start now!

Hmm once more: 741,241 files. On one disk. One out of... Uh, several. Rsync is now considering these 741,241 files, or so it tells me.

Hmm for the last time. I forgot how pathetically slow rsync is on Windows. Argh. Yuck. Bleah. Foo. This is going to take forever.
