Re: How to discern when like dir names exist in 2 places
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I was actually in the include/exclude section of the man page not the filter section. However, your syntax does work. The +/- syntax absolutely works in an --exclude-from or --include-from file I use it all the time. However, apparently the -/ syntax does not work there. So, I am not sure if the man page is wrong or if this feature just isn't working correctly in an exclude file. - From the man page: INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES ... The following modifiers are accepted after a + or -: o A / specifies that the include/exclude rule should be matched against the absolute pathname of the current item. For example, -/ /etc/passwd would exclude the passwd file any time the transfer was sending files from the /etc directory, and -/ subdir/foo would always exclude foo when it is in a dir named subdir, even if foo is at the root of the current transfer.

Re: How to discern when like dir names exist in 2 places
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 When I was testing I had a filter file that contained: - -/ /etc/passwd The commands I was testing with were: rsync -vvaiinx --filter=merge filterfile.txt /etc/ /tmp/ | grep passwd and rsync -vvaiinx --filter=merge filterfile.txt / /tmp/ | grep passwd In both commands /etc/passwd was skipped. With just - instead of -/ the file was only skipped on the second command.
