If you're using a version of rsync older than 3.1.2 as a client and
receiving files from an rsync server that you might not fully trust,
this version adds extra checking to the file list to prevent the sender
from tweaking the paths and/or the transfer requests in a way that could
cause a file to be received outside the transfer destination.

rsync, by default, includes a patched zlib within its source tarball. The patch
enables a better compression ratio for rsync streams. However, the client and
server need the same featureset in their zlib in order to understand the
compression stream, or the server will abort the transfer. Older versions have
no understanding of the new compression standard used.
This patch allows the builder to choose whether to use the bundled or system
zlib. It defautls to using the system zlib, as is the default before this
patch.
