--- Comment #2 from Wayne Davison <wa...@opencoder.net> --- BTW, what happens in the test case you provided is that the generator creates TOPDIR and then TOPDIR/secret dirs before asking the sender to start a transfer of TOPDIR/secret/config. It then goes on to notice that topdir is present (since it uses stat) and that topdir/secret is an empty directory that is in the way of a symlink, so it replaces the dir with a symlink prior to the receiver doing its file-create work. If the topdirs had sorted in the opposite order, the symlink would have been replaced with a directory. -- 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.
