When just the second pull went in, I wasn't sure if it was waiting for
vacation or you felt it was too big, but when I saw rc2 it was pretty
clear.

So I'm working up an rc3 pull with longer explanations.  The bulk of my
last pull was send/receive fixes.  The rc1 send/recv worked fine for me
on my test box, but larger scale use on well aged filesystems showed
some problems.

It's fair to say send/receive wasn't ready.  I did expect some fixes for
rc2 but not that many.  More details will be in my pull this afternoon,
but with our current code it is working very well for me.
