Hi,

are: (1) a newly created item replaces each letter with  a  +,
(2)  an identical item replaces the dots with spaces, and (3) an
unknown attribute replaces each letter with a ? (this can hap 
pen when talking to an older rsync).

But, I cann't figure out the case for the `(2)  an identical item 
replaces the dots with spaces'.

I'm pretty sure (2) only occurs when --itemize-changes is specified twice. 
This instructs rsync to list every item it examines even if it does not
need to be updated.

Thanks for your notes. I've checked with `-ii', and it seems that you are 
right.
