This indicates that you want the file .bar to be read at every level of the destination hierarchy and its contents to be interpreted as filter commands. That would let you specify localized filtering. > --filter=':r foo/' It doesn't make sense to specify a directory as a merge-file. From your other text I imagine you're trying to protect the "foo" dir's contents from deletion, in which case you should be using a protect (P) rule: --filter='protect foo/' ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
