One thing that's bugged me is that some of the man page lines in the
options summary are longer than 79 chars and wrap onto the next line.
These are just one line summaries (detailed description appear later)
so they can, and should, be terse.
Here's an edited diff showing my proposed changes (and a 79 char ruler):
-1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
- --suffix=SUFFIX define backup suffix (default ~ w/o --backup-dir)
+ --suffix=SUFFIX backup suffix (default ~ w/o --backup-dir)
- --ignore-existing ignore files that already exist on the receiving
side
+ --ignore-existing ignore files already present on receiver
- --delete delete files that don't exist on the sending side
+ --delete delete files that donīt exist on sender
- --delete-excluded also delete excluded files on the receiving side
+ --delete-excluded also delete excluded files on receiver
- --force force deletion of directories even if not empty
+ --force delete directories even if not empty
- -I, --ignore-times don't exclude files that match length and time
+ -I, --ignore-times ignore mod time (ignore file size, also)
- --size-only only use file size when determining if a file
should be transferred
+ --size-only ignore mod time (only compare file size)
- --modify-window=NUM Timestamp window (seconds) for file match
(default=0)
+ --modify-window=NUM window (+/- seconds) for mod time match
- --compare-dest=DIR also compare destination files relative to DIR
+ --compare-dest=DIR also compare files relative to DIR
- -0 --from0 file names we read are separated by nulls, not
newlines
+ -0 --from0 file list delimited by nulls, not newlines
Comments? Suggestions?
Since this doesn't involve executable code, can this get into 2.6.0
(without another "pre" release)?
