It doesn't match. I've checked this twice now and rsync does not
re-send the file when it's been corrupted by a previous (rsync)
transfer.
I've now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt (since something like
this also happened to me last time) that rsync is a piece of shit
and doesn't work; I will no longer be using or recommending rsync
for anything.
Sigh. I guess it's back to "mirroring" with tar.
