Summary: --force option doesn't work as expected/documented
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.6
Platform: x64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
QAContact: [email protected]
Run following script and you'll receive:
cannot delete non-empty directory: s1/CVS
delete non-empty directory: s1/CVS
cannot delete non-empty directory: s1
which conflicts with the doc on --force. Googling this also brings up a number
of others with the same problem. The source of the problem is the exclude
filter.

# Reproduction steps where --force doesn't force deletion.
rm -rf src dst
mkdir -p dst/s1/CVS
echo foo > dst/s1/CVS/Root
mkdir -p src/s2/foo.txt
rsync -az --filter='exclude, /**/CVS/Root' --filter='protect, /**/CVS/Root'
--fo
rce --delete --delete-excluded src/ dst
