I'm trying to explicitly include a file that exists under a directory
that I otherwise want excluded. Here are my command and include list:
rsync -e ssh -Cavz --delete --update \
--include-from=$HOME/.rsync.laptop . $DEST:
where $DEST contains the remote machine name and this is being run
from the top of my home directory. My include list is:
+ /.addressbook
+ /.ICAClient
+ /.calendar
+ /.mailcap
+ /.mime.types
+ /.mozilla/bmetcalf/bookmarks.html
+ /.fetchmailrc
+ /.pinerc
+ /.signature
+ /.vimrc
+ /.rsync.laptop
- /dead.letter
- /OpenOffice.org*
- /news
- /rpm
- /tmp
- /.*
.mozilla/bmetcalf/bookmarks.html refuses to transfer and if up I crank
up verbosity, I see the the entire directory .mozilla is excluded
because of the pattern /.* . What's interesting is that all of the
other files like .calendar transfer fine. I've tried something like:
+ /.addressbook
+ /.ICAClient
+ /.calendar
+ /.mailcap
+ /.mime.types
+ /.mozilla
+ /.mozilla/bmetcalf/bookmarks.html
+ /.fetchmailrc
+ /.pinerc
+ /.signature
+ /.vimrc
+ /.rsync.laptop
- /dead.letter
- /OpenOffice.org*
- /news
- /rpm
- /tmp
- /.*
But that includes everything under .mozilla.
What am I missing about rsync's algorithm?
Thanks.
