Summary: deletes files in parent directory when destination
directory doesn't exist
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.9
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm using the PHP Symfony framework's rsync application publication feature to
publish an application from my development box to a ~archives/symfony directory
on our production box. This invokes the following rsync command:
rsync --progress --dry-run -azC --force --delete
--exclude-from=config/rsync_exclude.txt -e ssh ./
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:symfony/
I notice that when the ~archives/symfony directory doesn't already exist on the
production box, rsync will delete all files and directories in the parent
directory (in our case ~archives). Once I create the ~archives/symfony
directory, rsync correctly copies ./* from the development box to
~archives/symfony, without touching anything else in ~archives on the
production box.
I've been over the man page, especially the parts about a trailing slash on the
source, and I believe this behavior is a bug. For instance, rsync's syntax is
supposed to be somewhat analogous to rcp/scp where "scp -r .
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:symfony" would copy the working directory to
~archives/symfony, without touching anything else in ~archives.
Also, the local analogy:
rsync --progress --dry-run -azC --force --delete
--exclude-from=config/rsync_exclude.txt -e ssh ./ /tmp/symfony/
copies the working directory to /tmp/symfony, without touching anything else in
/tmp.
The local version of rsync is: rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29
The remote version is: rsync version 2.6.3 protocol version 28
Thanks, Jack
