Summary: rsync exclude file ignores spaces
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.8
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: way...@samba.org
ReportedBy: dfwjim2...@yahoo.com
QAContact: rsync...@samba.org
Using the FAQ page at rsync, using tips on the commandline with --exclude=
having spaces in the file-spec pattern for --exclude, seem to be ignored by
--exclude-from inside the exclude file. I used all types of space escaping
techniques: questionmark, single \, the triple \\\, combinations of single &
double quoting.
the only way I can get the path to exclude is to cut it off at the first
instance of space with a *, however this may cut off similarly named
directories. This needs to be fixed.
