Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.3-2
Severity: normal

Rsync reported the following error message:

mkstemp eschnett/doc/CQG/.CQG 21 589: Alcubierre, Allen, Bona, Fiske, Goodale, 
Guzm�n, Hawke, Hawley, Husa, Koppitz, Lechner, Pollney, Rideout, Salgado, 
Schnetter, Seidel, Shinkai, Shoemaker, Szil�gyi, Takahashi, Winicour: Towards 
standard testbeds for numerical relativity.pdf.ILSUbe failed: File name too long

Yes, this is one line, and one file with a very long name.  Apparently
the file that is to be transferred has a name that is barely short
enough for the file system, and the added prefix and suffix characters
push it over the limit, causing this error.  In this case, rsync
should choose a different, shorter file name instead of not
transferring the file.

Also, rsync did not notice that this file could not be transferred,
and deleted some files after the transmission.  According to the
documentation, rsync is supposed to not delete anything if there were
errors in the transmission.

I called rsync with the following options:
