Description Ivan Kozik 2011-02-20 21:42:20 UTC 
$ rsync -a --max-size=0 source dest
rsync: --max-size value is invalid: 0
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1443) [client=3.0.7]

It's a bit odd that there's a way to transfer (0 or 1 byte) files, but no way to transfer only 0-byte files.

I'm checking in a fix for this.
