--- Comment #2 from Kevin Korb <rs...@sanitarium.net> --- --prune-empty-dirs only affects the file list that rsync is working from. That means it handles dirs that are either really empty on the source or anything that has been emptied via --exclude or --filter. Options that modify the way rsync stores stuff but not the list of stuff it is processing are not affected by --prune-empty-dirs. That would apply to the 3 --*-dest options. As long as there are files on the source that haven't been excluded or filtered they are still in the listing that rsync is processing so the directory is not empty. -- 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.
