The only way to get rsync to not create directory hierarchies that don't
contain *.txt files is to actually remove the directories from the
transfer, either through more targeted directory includes, or by using
--files-from (though the latter would not make it easy to delete missing
files).
So, instead of the "+ */" rule you would need to maintain some include
rules, perhaps using something like this perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $dir = shift;
chdir($dir) or die "Unable to chdir to $dir: $!\n";
print "+ *.txt\n";
my %hash;
open(IN, 'find . -name "*.txt" |') or die "Failed to run find: $!\n";
while (<IN>) {
chomp;
s#^\./##;
next unless s#/[^/]*\.txt$##;
my $path = '';
foreach (split(/\//)) {
$path .= $_ . '/';
next if $hash{$path};
$hash{$path} = 1;
print "+ $path\n";
}
}
print "- *\n";
And use it like this:
new-script ./source | rsync -avz --delete-excluded --exclude-from=- ./source/
./dest
..wayne..
