https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6928 --- Comment #2 from jasonspi...@gmail.com 2009-12-04 00:35 CST --- I neglected to use --modify-window=1 when I first started using rsync. More importantly, think how other people have made the same mistake. Who knows how many hours, days, or weeks of unneeded syncing we (the group as a whole) have waited through in total until we've learned. "With very few exceptions, users will not cuddle up with [a] manual and read it through before they begin to use [some] software. In general [...] users are trying to get something done, and they see reading the manual as a waste of time, or at the very least, as a distraction that keeps them from getting their task done." -- http://www.joelonsoftware.com/uibook/chapters/fog62.html -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6928 --- Comment #1 from m...@mattmccutchen.net 2009-11-27 22:51 CST --- I would be disinclined to add this to the main version of rsync. Rsync generally doesn't devote effort to second-guessing the user. Not reading the man page is not a supported use case. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
