Hi, I got the following report from a Debian user, about --files-from transferring the contents of a dir (i.e. including the files in it) specified in the input, even thugh the files aren't listed in the input. This happens only when the dir name ends with a slash. I asked him to cook up a script to reproduce this (as it wasn't quite clear to me at first what happened exactly).
Any ideas? Please include [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the recipients of any replies, so that the discussion is recorded with the bug.
