 It doesn't match.  I've checked this twice now and rsync does not
 re-send the file when it's been corrupted by a previous (rsync)
 transfer.
 
 I've now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt (since something like
 this also happened to me last time) that rsync is a piece of shit
 and doesn't work; I will no longer be using or recommending rsync
 for anything.
 
 Sigh.  I guess it's back to "mirroring" with tar.
