--- Comment #7 from Filipus Klutiero <chea...@gmail.com> 2014-03-14 04:39:59 UTC --- Sorry if I was unclear, but I didn't mean to say that rsync's behavior should be changed. I do believe that users would expect rsync to transfer directories by default, but this doesn't necessarily mean that changing the default is desirable at this point. Indeed, cp has the same issue as rsync, so changing one without the other would reduce consistency. What I meant to say was that the documentation is misleading. If directories are not copied by default, the manpage should probably have a fat warning, but at least, it should not mislead readers. The example description should probably say that only regular files will be transferred, or that all files other than directories will be transferred. Or something more complicated (I do not know rsync's default behavior). For sure, it would be more accurate to say "all files other than directories". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
