If things were working correctly, yes, that would indeed work. The problem is that the 'CVS/*' item has an interior slash, and rsync currently interprets this as being anchored (i.e. as '/CVS/*'). Use this command to work around the problem: rsync -av --include '*/' --include '**/CVS/*' --exclude '*' src src_cvs This should work in your case even though (a) "**/..." doesn't match in the root of the transfer (which won't affect you unless you change the "src" to "src/"), and (b) the trailing "*" gets treated like "**" (which should have no ill effects when transferring CVS dirs since they don't tend to have subdirs). A previous patch of mine that replaces the matching code with something that properly interprets "**" and "*" in the same item and also properly floats an unanchored match term with an interior slash would have worked as expected with your original command. I hope to get this fix into rsync eventually, but we've been in a "let's release soon" mode for quite a while, and I haven't wanted to commit such a big change in the current release cycle. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
