slashes. The old behavior of crossing slashes can be achieved by using a
double-asterisk ('**') anywhere in a pattern. Note that this can change
some existing exclude patterns in a subtle way. Also note that if the
remote side is an older release the processing on the two sides might not
be exactly the same when there's no double-asterisk, which can affect which
files are excluded from deletion, but they're close enough that people will
probably not notice. I considered changing the protocol version and
checking the remote_version number to ensure the same processing on both
sides, but the exclude patterns are pre-processed before the remote version
number is known and it's just not worth going through extraordinary efforts.

only for symlinks that point outside the source tree. Suggested by Charles
Hines <chuck_hines@VNET.IBM.COM> in PR#1376. Also apply the option to any
symbolic links in the source portion of a path when --relative is used,
as suggested by Francis Montagnac <Francis.Montagnac@sophia.inria.fr> on
the rsync mailing list in a message titled "New option: --copy-parent-links".
of memcpy because bcopy is guaranteed to work with overlapping memory and
memcpy is not. Bug fix for PR#1584 in which log entries in the rsync
daemon log on Sunos 4.1.4 were garbled.
was incorrect. It's hard to tell how many bytes are actually read because
transferring the value changes it and depending on its value it may
transfer 4 or 12 bytes so instead change the sender side to not include the
length of the counters it sends at all (it had been including one but three
are sent).
multiple SRCs. Also moved the --suffix option to show up right after
--backup and included the default backup suffix and block size along with
their corresponding options rather than at the end. Copied the new help
message to rsync.yo and README and used the Usage also in the SYNOPSIS
section at the top of rsync.yo rather than the different one that used
"path" instead of SRC and DEST. That last change was inspired by a
suggestion from Michael Bleyer in PR #1523.
in receiver.c because it confuses people when they do something like
rsync /etc/passwd /tmp/nonexistentdir/passwd
and it printed out something like
open /tmp/noniexistentdir/.passwd.a004d5 : No such file or directory

of non-wildcard includes followed by an exclude of *) so that it will silently
ignore included files that don't exist rather than saying "No such file or
directory". This is more like the behavior of the non-optimized include mode.
probably cause any harm if they were treated as normal exclude or include
patterns because they just wouldn't match anything, but it's better to
explicitly ignore them. Suggested by David Holland <uholld1@lexis-nexis.com>
instead of 200. Move the defines of True and False to rsync.h. Eliminate
the defines of BOOL in loadparm.c and params.c because it is already
defined in rsync.h. Changes suggested by Roman Gollent roman.gollent@wdr.com
The reason for that is that on SVR2-based UTS 2.1.2 (which along with many
other old systems implements getcwd by forking "pwd") getcwd hangs when
called when other child processes are running.
I also added a quick return from push_dir if name == NULL so it doesn't
actually have to chdir anywhere when just initializing.
An initializing call to push_dir("/",0) had previously been put in at the
beginning of daemon_main() to avoid calling getcwd after a chroot, but
since that is no longer I needed I removed it and changed the call to
chdir("/") after chroot into a push_dir("/",0) so it will remember the
correct current directory.
to be ignored. At the same time, change the "uid =" and "gid =" options to
be ignored when not running the daemon as super-user, to make it more
convenient for those people and to make it portable to systems such as
cygwin which don't support the uid/gid notions.
size. This explains the high false_alarms rate that I saw for one of
the sample data files used in my thesis.
The bug was harmless as the strong checksum easily caught all the
false matches but it's been bugging me as I couldn't explain it :)
"dont compress = *", by request of Tridge. Instead, mention the difference
in the man page. Also, put in a shortcut in set_compression() to recognize
"*" earlier instead of going through malloc/strtok/fnmatch/free cycle.
when people do --exclude "*". Also, add an example to the man page that
shows explicitly including parent directories when itemizing specific
paths to include followed by --exclude "*".
