I commend to you jonny's thread on the tests:

It keeps turning out that when you look at the AI output, it's shit.

    I don't know anything about rsync aside from as a user, but I am pretty experienced with Python and I admit those tests look really bizarre. If he did "slot machine" code it (a term I wasn't familiar with) then yeah, I agree that's slop. If he didn't, I don't understand why he made these changes. OK yeah, that's a bad sign.
