--- Comment #6 from Wayne Davison <way...@samba.org> ---
In rsync 3.1.x the backup logic was improved to ensure that older, conflicting
files/symlinks couldn't cause problems in a new backup. For instance, if a
file changed to a directory (and was backed up) and then later a file needed to
be backed up in the new path, the lingering file that now needs to be a
directory caused rsync to die. The new logic is to ensure that every dir that
exists in the transfer is now a directory in the backup area. This logic could
be amended to instead ensure that any conflicts are removed, and the dir
creation delayed until needed.
