Directories have an assumed trailing slash on the end of their name for the purposes of sorting, which is why a-c/ comes before a/. The reason for this is that older versions of rsync used to sort files from inside a subdirectory into strange places sometimes (instead of right after the subdir). For instance: a a-c a-c/bar a/foo In a modern rsync, this is now: a-c/ a-c/bar a/ a/foo An alternative solution would have been to sort any '/' char alphabetically prior to all other non-slash characters, but that is not the solution I chose way back when. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
