I'm having troubles using rsync to synchronize only files+directories
specified in "include list". I'm using command
rsync -avP --include-from=list --exclude="*" /from/ /to/
The "list" file contains 2 entries:
/a/b/file1
/file2
Rsync doesn't transfer file1 until I add all the subdirectories tree. It
means I have to adjust the list this way:
/a/
/a/b/
/a/b/file1
/file2
File "file2" is always transferred since it it is placed in root
directory. Of, course, directory /from/ contains many more
subdirectories and file which I don't want to synchronize.
Is this a bug or am I using it a bad way? Why do I need to complete the
include list by hand? It's very slow to do the completion with just
shell utils.
Thank you.
