rsync - Aug 2007 - Pulling multiple sources from a daemon

What is the official syntax for pulling multiple sources from a
daemon?  In analogy to a remote shell, I expected this to work:

rsync rsync://matt@mattlaptop2:3141/module/'foo bar' dest/

But it doesn't; the daemon tried to access a file 'foo bar' with a
space in its name.

Using a newline like this does work because the newline becomes an
argument delimiter in the daemon protocol:

rsync rsync://matt@mattlaptop2:3141/module/'foo
bar' dest/

Somehow I doubt this is the official, correct way of pulling multiple sources.

I also tried this:

rsync rsync://matt@mattlaptop2:3141/module/foo
rsync://matt@mattlaptop2:3141/module/bar dest/

But rsync seemed to treat the second source as a local destination
(which didn't exist) and ignore the dest/ entirely.

I ran these tests with rsync 2.6.9.  Has anything changed since then?

It's the first example in the advanced usage section:

  rsync host::???modname/dir1/file1 modname/dir2/file2??? /dest

The repeating of " modname/" is required.

The daemon code path was missing a arg-count sanity check that the
non-daemon code path had.  I'll be checking in a fix for this.
