Summary: --list-only shows implied dirs even with --no-implied-
dirs
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.0
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: core

I noticed that the current CVS rsync lists implied dirs in --list-only mode,
even if given --no-implied-dirs. Is this behavior intended? IMHO, it would be
better to omit entries for implied dirs from the list like rsync 2.6.9 did
because they are an implementation detail and do not carry any information of
significance to the user. At the very least, showing their source attributes
is misleading because (as the man page description of --no-implied-dirs states)
the attributes are never applied to the destination.
To see the current behavior, run:
mkdir -p a/b
chmod 3756 a # Notice that this wacky mode appears in the listing
# even though the receiver doesn't apply it.
rsync -a -R --no-implied-dirs --list-only a/b
The result:
drwxr-srwT 72 2007/09/22 20:24:55 a
drwx------ 48 2007/09/22 20:24:55 a/b
