Package: rsync Version: 3.0.7-2 Severity: wishlist
" When using "/" at the end of source, rsync will copy the content of the last folder. When not using "/" at the end of source, rsync will copy the last folder and the content of the folder. When using "/" at the end of destination, rsync will paste the data inside the last folder. When not using "/" at the end of destination, rsync will create a folder with the last destination folder name and paste the data inside that folder. " However compatible with POSIX, the use of "/" especially for the source, I would have say that it does the opposite. this folder + "/" or folder without "/" at the end should do the same results as does CP or MV (copy and move respectively) I would guess that it will be fixed in the next releases, since it is source of many errors and misinterpretation. An easy solution would be to add a switch to say to copy/move content of folders or not.
