I just noticed an oddity when using --dry-run. There are literally thousands (4018, to be exact) of '^M 0 files...' with a random mix of '^M 100 files...' (49) & '^M 200 files...' (18) printed after the stats display. This is on a set of 36482 files.

The commandline used (long, sorry about messy linewrap):

rsync --archive --compress --hard-links --partial --progress --sparse --verbose --delete-after --dry-run --include /slackware-8.1 --include /slackware-9.0 --include /slackware-9.1 --include /slackware-10.0 --include /slackware-10.1 --include /slackware-current --exclude "/*" rsync://rsync.osuosl.org/slackware/ /pub/mirrors/ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/

As I don't know which rsync version osuosl has deployed, I also tried against a private mirror run by a friend (/me waves to nameless :) which uses 2.6.3. With the trivial exception of directory timestamp differences, the output is the same (re: '^M 0 files...' a few thousand times).
