Thanks  to you and Danekbot for the review.  The -b option seemed pretty
silly if the client were to have both size of files and number of files
figure into the FileList sizing equation.  Since -b was undocumented,
and AFACIT unused, it seemed pretty obvious to remove it.  When we first
designed FileList, we thought it might be useful to have these values be
tuneable, but I haven't seen any need for this so far.  That made me
think it was safe to remove this altogether.

Thanks again,

-j
