Bug ID: 10995 Summary: rsync -aFF crashes when parent directory of source directory has a .rsync-filter file with a dir-merge rule in it Product: rsync Version: 3.1.0 Hardware: x64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: way...@samba.org Reporter: lars.ti...@gmail.com QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org Run the following in an empty directory to reproduce: mkdir src-parent echo "dir-merge,- .gitignore" > src-parent/.rsync-filter mkdir src-parent/src mkdir src-parent/src/subdir mkdir dest rsync -aFF src-parent/src/ dest/ On Ubuntu 14.04 with the rsync version that ships with Ubuntu (rsync version 3.1.0 protocol version 31), I get the following output: rsync: exclude.c:584: pop_local_filters: Assertion `mergelist_cnt == old_mergelist_cnt' failed. Aborted (core dumped) On OS X 10.10 with rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29, this runs without problems. It looks like rsync looks too far up the directory tree for filter rules, and then gets confused. Note that the above steps are minimal as far as I was able to isolate the bug: remove the filter rule and it works. Remove the -a flag and it works. Remove src-parent/src/subdir and it doesn't crash (the empty subdir is not copied over, though). -- 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.
