Rsync Memes

Nothing says "minor version bump" quite like 36 commits silently breaking your entire backup infrastructure. Someone updated rsync from 3.4.1 to 3.4.3—you know, just a patch release—and suddenly incremental backups with multiple --compare-dest arguments decide to peace out and only full backups work. The best part? The changelog was like "nothing to see here" so our dev had to dig into the GitHub commit history. 36 commits between versions by "tridge and claude". For context, "tridge" is Andrew Tridgell, the literal creator of rsync. When the OG maintainer drops 36 commits in a "minor" update, you know someone's been busy refactoring the entire codebase at 3 AM. Classic case of semantic versioning being more of a suggestion than a rule. Remember kids: patch versions can and will ruin your day. Always test your updates, even when they look innocent.
