Yes, that's correct. Perhaps someone should submit a feature request for an option to remove all synced files. That option would let me write a "mv2" to complement my "cp2". Possible workarounds: * If you're using a single source directory with no sender filters, just write a script to "rm -rf" it after a successful rsync transfer. * If you're using a single source directory but you have sender filters, you can rsync an empty directory onto the source with those filters applying to the receiver. * One way to remove all synced regular files from the source is --ignore-times, but that wastes CPU time, disk I/O, _and_ network I/O.
