just have it report a speedup of 1.00 instead? Still misleading, but
it preserves the output format and is trivial to write (but still,
alas, confusing for the user, so this doesn't fill me with glee).
That lie would be no

One thing that might be nice is a mention in the footer that it is a

Do you not accept that the speedup printed on a dry run is meaningless?

I think rsync should omit the speedup on a dry run. The attached patch
makes it do so.

No, just run rsync's output through a sed script that adds the desired

On a dry run, rsync displays a speedup value calculated from the total
size of the source file data and the amount of data sent over the
connection, but this value is meaningless and grossly misleading because
the file data is not sent over the connection. Example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] test]$ rsync
10 matches
