I find the use of funny chars (including space) in filenames offensive but we need to deal with internationalizations and sheer stupidity. Regardless of what you think about them, MacOS comes with pathnames containing spaces right out of the box (think "System Folder"). Yes, rsync needs to not make assumptions about what's legal in a filename. Some OS's think slashes are path separators; some put them inside individual filenames. Some think [] are separators. We shouldn't try to make any assumptions. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
