The debug option didn't change the output at all.
 
It seems the receiver is rejecting the inclusion of a parent directory in the
update list. Here are 2 samples:
 
ERROR: rejecting unrequested file-list name: distrib/cauldron/SRPMS/core/release/media_info
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at flist.c(998) [Receiver=3.2.6]
 
ERROR: rejecting unrequested file-list name: distribution/leap
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at flist.c(998) [Receiver=3.2.6]
 
The first is from the mageia repository, the second from the opensuse one. The
names above are directories where files inside them appear in the files-from
list. The mentioned directories however are not in the files-from list
because there was no change to the directories themselves.
