Bug ID: 15154 Summary: manpage: Describe default behavior in context of --old-args/--protect-args Product: rsync Version: 3.2.0 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: wa...@opencoder.net Reporter: c.bu...@posteo.jp QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org Target Milestone: --- I am not a well experienced rsync user. So it could be that I misunderstood something and this report is wrong. Context: This is about how --old-args and --protected-args are described in the manpage. Problem: It seems to me that the manpage doesn't mention the default value or default behavior. Details: In my understanding that two arguments have an opposite meaning. So they can't be used together. The question about the default values is if I call rsync without any of that arguments how will rsync behave? I assume that `--protect-args` is the default behavior but I'm for away from being sure. If I am not wrong I would suggest to improve the manpage and describe the "default" behavior. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
