That's fine. I had meant to offer one criticism however.
What i had meant by the from0 was that each of the --*from
options would have a from0 counterpart so that null
terminated lists and newline terminated lists could
co-exist. In other words these options would all exist.
--include-from
--include-from0
--exclude-from
--exclude-from0
--files-from
--files-from0
instead of a single --from0 or --null. In this way you
could have a command-line of
rsync -a --exclude-from0=/usr/local/etc/rsync-exclude \
--exclude-from=$HOMEDIR/myexclude \
$HOMEDIR/ server:/homeback/$HOMEDIR/
or some such.
I don't know that it will ever be an issue so i'm not very
concerned with it. After all, we have gotten along so far
without any null termination capacity.
