From 0ddcea2d99d329aec40e568ca4bd1cff015ee655 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ofer Chen Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 20:17:41 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] test: add compressed batch delta interop verification and docs Add upstream self-roundtrip test for compressed batch delta transfers to document the upstream rsync 3.4.1 limitation where the batch format does not record which compression algorithm was used. Upstream's read-batch always forces CPRES_ZLIB (compat.c:194-195), but write-batch may auto-negotiate zstd, producing unreadable batch files. oc-rsync avoids this by recording uncompressed data in batch files (do_compression=false in stream flags). Document this design decision across batch_support.rs, replay.rs, compressed_writer.rs, and flags.rs.
