------- Comment #1 from hashproduct@verizon.net  2006-01-21 14:26 MST -------
--cvs-ignore ignores both that laundry list in exclude.c and any additional
files specified in per-directory .cvsignore files.  I downloaded the package
you linked and found that the MediaWiki people listed LocalSettings.php in
.cvsignore, so rsync's behavior is correct.  A "sufficiently empowered
user"
should resolve this bug invalid--why does Bugzilla let me click on things
I'm
not allowed to actually do?

Matt has the solution - the mediawiki guys has entered the missing files into
.cvsignore, which rsync correctly parses and thus ignores LocalSettings.php.
Nasty problem, but this is not an error in rsync!
