------- Comment #4 from way...@samba.org 2009-05-23 15:28 CST ------- Matt: I've added your various foundational patches plus some changes of my own, and then regenerated your final commit as a patch: http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=rsync.git/patches.git;a=history;f=filter-attribute-mods.diff I'm thinking that, before I apply this patch, I would like some way to allow users to avoid unintended chown/chmod items in the merge files. One possible solution: Add a trust (t) modifier for the merge-file filter rules that will mark the file as trusted. Any chown/chmod rules that are found in a non-trusted file would output a warning and skip the rule. Any merge-file rule (per-dir or not) defaults to having untrusted rules unless it is marked as trusted (even if it comes from a trusted source). All command-line filter options would get processed with the internal "trusted-source" flag, so direct-on-the-command-line chown/chmod filter rules would all work.
