rsync - May 2009 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 6376] New: Trailing slashes avoid creating directories in daemon mode

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6376

           Summary: Trailing slashes avoid creating directories in daemon
                    mode
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.6
          Platform: x64
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: Bernard@trevesbrown.me.uk
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


The man page compares:
rsync -av /src/foo /dest
rsync -av /src/foo/ /dest/foo
and states that in the second case no foo directory is created on the client. 

This behaviour would be useful in daemon mode, so that
rsync -av host::module/lower/ /dest/
does not create a directory /dest/lower/ but copies everything into /dest/

Thanks

That is what the command currently does.  Are you proposing a change?

The only thing different about daemon mode is that a trailing module name does
not create a trailing directory (which it kinda looks like it should).  For
instance:

rsync -aiv host::module /dest/

That command does not create /dest/module since the module name is not a part
of the path.
