Hello folks,
trying to make use of the new --keep-dirlinks feature for a synch port; it works excellent but feels incomplete without a way for rsync to ignore recursive links.
Example: # ls -la . total 6 drwxrwxr-x 2 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:42 . drwxrwxr-x 8 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:41 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 bldmstr staff 2 Aug 20 12:07 bogus -> ..
if you use '--keep-dirlinks --delete' rsync goes into recursion trying to delete unexisting directory at destination.
Is it possible to introduce a feature, or make it a default to ignore recursive dirlinks under --keep-dirlinks? Highly doubt this behaviour would ever be called for :)
Or please kick me in the right direction for a workaround which would make --keep-dirlinks consider sane symlinks only.
