- 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.]
- 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.
- Moved setting of list_only and xfer_dirs from main.c to options.c.
- Fixed the ability of the user to force --no-dirs.
- Added the --old-dirs/--old-d option to make it easier to interact
in list-only mode with an older rsync.
- Suggest the use of --old-d instead of "-r --exclude='/*/*'".
- If a symlink/device/special-file changes its value without any
attribute changes, the itemized event no longer gets dropped.
- We put a 'c' into the checksum/change field now to indicate when
a symlink/device/special-file changes its value without changing
its type. This lets us properly interpret the --copy-links output
to know which items are getting copied without changes and which
are getting created with new content.
- Fixed the 'T' itemized output for a symlink when rsync tries to
set the right time but fails due to lack of OS/disk support.
