Hi,

the following behaviour of rsync puzzles me.

I have the following situation

<Source>/A                this is a symlink !

<Dest>/A                  this is a real directory


now
cd <Dest>/A
rsync -auHz -ni --rsh=ssh --delete --exclude='/A/' <source
machine>:<Source>/ .

shows that it's going to delete the folder <Dest>/A

Can anybody please explain me why?

Thanks a lot,
Helmut.

(P.S. : I did google for it but couldn't find an explanation)
