- Improve function name: parse_rule -> parse_filter_str (to make the
similarity with parse_filter_file clearer, and better indicate that
it can parse multiple rules when FILTRULE_WORD_SPLIT is specified).
- In preparation for rule prefixes containing information beyond the
rflags, change the code to pass around a full "template" filter_rule
instead of just rflags. Callers of parse_filter_{str,file} that want
to specify only rflags can use rule_template(rflags) .
- Remove the MODIFIERS_* strings and instead hand-code the condition
under which each modifier is valid. This should make it easier to
see that the conditions are correct.
- Tighten up default modifiers on merge rules:
- Disallow "!" because it isn't useful.
- If the merge rule specifies a side via "s" or "r", the rules in the
file cannot also specify a side via "s", "r", "hide", etc.
[Patch was changed by Wayne a bit prior to application.]
Since the value is not needed, protocol 31 no longer sends it, while
older protocols are optimized so the sender just sends a valid rdev
value as efficiently as possible. The receiver no longer caches an
rdev value for special files, and the generator will always pass a 0
rdev value to do_mknod() for special files. Fixes bug #6280.
- Changed get_backup_name() to verify the backup path, and make any
missing directories. This avoids accidental use of a symlink as a dir
in a backup path, and gets rid of any other non-dirs that are in the
way. It also avoids the need for various operations to retry after
calling make_bak_dir(), simplifying several pices of code.
- Changed create_directory_path() to make_path(), giving it flags that
lets the caller decide if it should skip a leading slash or drop the
trailing filename.
- Mention when we create the backup directory, so the user is not caught
unaware when rsync uses a directory they didn't expect.
- Got rid of some dir-moving backup code that is not used.
- Added a little more backup-debug output.
- Implement --ignore-missing-args.
- In the absence of --*-missing-args, a missing source arg is an
FERROR_XFER, but doesn't need to be an IOERR_GENERAL.
- Revise the man page.
recursion scan is still active. Mention the output change more
prominently in the NEWS file. Updated the --progress output in
the manpage, with mention of the new "ir-chk" string's meaning.
