rsync - Jan 2008 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 5199] New: Exclusion of source arg ancestor short-circuits recursion

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5199

           Summary: Exclusion of source arg ancestor short-circuits
                    recursion
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: matt@mattmccutchen.net
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


I originally reported this bug here:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-October/019006.html

In incremental recursion mode, the exclusion of an ancestor dir of a source
argument incorrectly short-circuits the traversal of the source argument, even
with --no-implied-dirs.  I expect rsync to omit the ancestor dir from the
file-list (moot with --no-implied-dirs) but traverse the source argument
regardless, as rsync 2.6.9 does.

To reproduce:

$ mkdir src src/D
$ rsync -ni -rR --exclude='/src' src/D/ dest/
(No output)
$ rsync -ni -rR --no-implied-dirs --exclude='/src' src/D/ dest/
(Still no output)
$ rsync-2.6.9 -ni -rR --exclude='/src' src/D/ dest/
cd+++++++ src/D/

------- Comment #1 from wayned@samba.org  2008-01-19 12:19 CST -------
The latest dev version now has this fixed.  We no longer allows the filtering
of any implied directories except via --no-implied-dirs.  This fixes the
weirdness in earlier versions where an exclude would elide the sending of the
directory's information without stopping the sending of its contents.

------- Comment #2 from matt@mattmccutchen.net  2008-01-23 23:33 CST -------
IMHO, the old behavior of excluding just the implied dir from the file-list was
useful, not weird...but anyway the important problem is fixed.
