I understand that the case is only for *same* directory.
You can claim that it's not a standard use case, but first Michael hit that,
now me. There's at least one more case -
https://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2011-December/027117.html
The count of such cases will be increasing and the sooner it will be fixed -
the less pain it will bring to the users. I know fixing that is a big
structural change, but it will become worse with time.
If it's not going to be fixed - I don't care. Right now I'm forced
to migrate to old mdadm raid-1 or ZFS. The sad thing is that
I really LOVED btrfs. Only that. ^__^
