In case anybody is interested, here's my follow-up to this issue : Eschewing the 2.6.9 that ships by default on Cygwin, I compiled Matt's patched rsync 3.0.0 by hand and moved forward with that binary. After trying a few more scenarios - and hanging each time at the same phase noted above - i tried the --whole-file switch (copy files whole), which solved the problem nicely. Now, of course, i'm not sure /why/ that worked (which is to say that i'm not sure why the algorithm was failing), but there you go. :) -- Daniel Maher <dma AT witbe.net>
