+Disable the extra validation of the file list from a remote sender.
+This should only be done if you trust
+the sender to not try to do something malicious, which should be the case
+if they\(cq\&re running a stock rsync.
+.IP 
+Normally when pulling files from a remote rsync, the client runs 2 extra
+validation checks:
+.RS 
+.IP o 
+Verify that additional arg items didn\(cq\&t get added at the top of the transfer.
+.IP o 
+Verify that none of the items in the file list should have been excluded.
+.RE 
+.IP 
+Note that various options can turn off one or both of these checks if the
+option interferes with the validation.  For instance:
+.RS 
+.IP o 
+Using a per-directory filter file reads filter rules that only the server
+knows about, so the filter checking is disabled.
+.IP o 
+Reading the files-from list from the server side means that the client
+doesn\(cq\&t know the arg list, so the arg checking is disabled.
+.IP o 
+Using \fB\-\-read\-batch\fP disables both checks since the batch file\(cq\&s
+contents will have been verified when it was created.
+.RE 
+.IP 
+This option may help an under-powered client server if the extra pattern
+matching is slowing things down on a huge transfer.  It can also be used
+to work around a bug in the verification logic, possibly after using the
+\fB\-\-list\-only\fP option combined with \fB\-\-trust\-sender\fP to look
+over the full file list.

 .IP "\fB\-\-chown=USER:GROUP\fP"
 This option forces all files to be owned by USER
 with group GROUP.  This is a simpler interface than using \fB\-\-usermap\fP and
