rsync - Mar 2012 - [Bug 8834] New: Option --recursive fails if followed by another option

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8834

           Summary: Option --recursive fails if followed by another option
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.9
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: axelboldt at yahoo.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


I am using rsync 3.0.9 protocol version 30 from the cygwin package
rsync-3.0.9-1 under Windows 7.

$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir c d
$ rsync --recursive ?-verbose c d
rsync: link_stat "/tmp/?-verbose" failed: No such file or directory
(2)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code
23) at /home/lapo/package/rsync-3.0.9-1/src/rsync-3.0.9/main.c(1052)
[sender=3.0.9]
$ rsync --verbose --recursive c d
sending incremental file list

sent 32 bytes  received 13 bytes  90.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00


Obviously "--verbose" is interpreted as a file name in the first
example. If
this is intended, then this behavior needs to be documented on the man page. If
this is a compile mistake on cygwin's part, I'll be happy to report it
there.

Please verify that you actually used --verbose.  One of the dashes in your post
is not a dash character.  This may have been a paste error but it seems likely
to be the problem.

You are correct, mistake on my part: retyping the two dashes resolves the
issue.
