--- Comment #5 from Ben RUBSON <ben.rub...@gmail.com> --- I reproduced the issue the same way, I meant just creating a directory in my backed-up tree with the name of a just-deleted file, this file remaining in the link-dest folder. I'm not sure the opposite (an existing directory used as if it were a file) exists, as several tests (stating, opening) must be performed by rsync on files before using them. Though I did not go through the whole code path looking for such a case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
