New wildmatch code in CVS

2003-07-05 Thread Wayne Davison
If you've been watching CVS, you may have noticed that I checked in some new files named wildmatch.c and wildmatch.h. This code implements the shell-style wildcard matching with rsync's extension that "**" matches a "/" but "*" and "?" does not. I have also checked in a new test module which has

compare-dest when DEST contains path component

make check's diff -u vs -c

2003-07-05 Thread jw schultz
