Yes, this is something that MS Windows is doing outside of rsync's control, so it is not something that the main rsync distribution is even looking at because there's nothing to fix in the main distribution. This may be something that the cygwin folks can look into fixing, though. The problem is that rsync asks for the name of a file via readdir(), and MS Windows munges the name instead of returning it verbatim. Rsync then tries to use the provided filename to open the file, and MS Windows says that it doesn't exist. At that point there's nothing rsync can do. Perhaps the cygwin version of rsync could be marked as understanding unicode -- something that I assume the cygwin packagers would do when building the rsync package. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
