(trimmed the rest)
Comment 1 Wayne Davison 2004-09-17 15:46:23 UTC 
Older rsyncs (such as the version apt.sw.be is running) had a limit of 1000
files they would expand when sent a wildcard.  Just leave off the '*' and all
will be well.

If the server were 2.6.3pre1, it would work either way (though leaving off a
trailing '*' is always a better choice).
