rsync - Jun 2006 - transfer logging -- absolute file path?

(Apologies if this is a FAQ, but have not found anything on it.)

I am trying to detect when files are uploaded to an rsync module, and
process those files on arrival.  It appears that the post-transfer action
facility will not provide the file name uploaded, so that seems
unpromising.

I have been experimenting with the transfer log facility, and while that
can provide the module path, and the base filename, it appears to exclude
any sub-path information for the file.

for instance if I archive files into module logs_foobar/server1, these
will go to /module/path/server1/myfilename.  But I cannot get the actual
path of the file written in the transfer log line, only the parts to the
left or right of "server1" in my example.

Is there a way to get the real path of the file written?
Thanks in advance.

This seems to be a bug.  The %f log-format escape provides the full path
within the module when sending files, but does not when receiving files.
I'll look into fixing this, but in the meantime, my only suggestion is
to use a "pre-xfer exec" program and have it log the args that it
receives (which will let you prepend the destination dir manually).
