Yeah, that is how it currently works. The --delete-delay option delays the deletions that are found as each directory begins its processing, so it is like using --delete-during with the removals being delayed to the end. I have considered make it do the delete scan at the end of each dir's processing, but when I last looked at it there was a reason why I didn't do that (which had to do with complications of getting the per-dir rules set right for both the on-going copying, and a late delete scan). I don't think this is likely to change any time soon, but it would be nice to have a way of doing something like early per-dir filter copying or something. ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
