>From a quick look at generator.c it seems partial-dir applies only to regular files (partialptr = NULL in line 1767), which means that some/path/newdir/newfile is created at some/path/newdir/<partial-dir-name>/newfile. It also appears that delay-updates only happens for regular files, and other types are created immediately, right? -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
