I don't know what you mean by "safely". To get an rsync executable with the patch, download an rsync source package from http://rsync.samba.org/ (your choice of the stable rsync 2.6.9 or a snapshot or prelease of rsync 3.0.0), extract it, apply the patch "patches/detect-renamed.diff", ./configure, and make. > second, has this patch been widely tested?

Was the "Total transferred file size" zero? That just means that no regular files would be transferred, presumably because none of the source files had changed since the last run. If the "Total transferred file size" was zero but rsync itemized transfers, then something is probably wrong.
