        BUG FIXES:
        
            - Fixed a major bug in the sorting of the filenames when --relative
              is used for some sources (just sources such as "/" and "/*" were
              affected).  This fix ensures that we ask for the right file-list
              item when requesting changes from the sender.

I don't use -R (--relative) flag.
In my example, i use -a :
-a, --archive               archive mode, equivalent to -rlptgoD     (there is no -R)

It's not the same bug.

I carefully check the copy of my whole system and everything seems fine.
Here the problem appear only with files device.

I'll check this bug with rsync 2.6.2.
