In trying to write a nice GUI for rsync, it was difficult to read rsync's stdout when using --progress, as --progress uses \r to make things pretty on a terminal, but it's painful to read into another process.
The attached patch made it much easier for me to read and parse the output from --progress by adding a command-line option --progress-newline, which simply causes --progress to use \n instead of \r for eol to ease reading stdout. I hope this is useful.
