Fixed a failing hunk.

[rsync/rsync-patches.git] / filter.diff

After applying this patch and running configure, you MUST run this
command before "make":

    make proto

This patch adds the ability to merge rules into your excludes/includes
using either "+m FILE" (for merged includes) or "-m FILE" (for merged
excludes).  It also lets you specify either "+p FILE" or "-p FILE" in
order to specify a per-directory merge file -- one that will be looked
for in every sub-directory that rsync visits, and the rules found in
that subdirectory's file will affect that dir and (if desired) its
subdirs.

For example:

  rsync -av --exclude='-p .excl' from/ to

The above will look for a file named ".excl" in every directory of the
hierarchy that rsync visits, and it will exclude (by default) names
based on the rules found therein.  If one of the .excl files contains
this:

  + *.c
  -p .excl2
  -m .excl3
  *.o
  /foobar

Then the file ".excl2" will also be read in from the current dir and all
its subdirs.  The file ".excl3" would just be read in from the current
dir.  The exclusion of "foobar" will only happen in that .excl file's
directory because the rule is anchored, so that's how you can make rules
local instead of inherited.

+manpagesection(MERGED EXCLUDE FILES)
+
+You can merge whole files into an exclude file by specifying either the
+"m" or "p" option following the initial "+" or "-", and putting a filename
+in place of the pattern.  There are two kinds of merged exclude files --
+single-instance ("m") and per-directory ("p").  For example:
+
+verb(
+    -m /etc/rsync/default.excludes
+    +p .per-dir-includes
+)
+
+For a per-directory merge file, rsync will scan
+every directory that it traverses for the named file, merging its contents
+when the file exists.  These exclude files must exist on the sending side
+because it is the sending side that is being scanned for available files
+to send.  The files may also need to be transferred to the receiving side
+if you want them to affect what files don't get deleted (see PER-DIRECTORY
+EXCLUDES AND DELETE below).
+
+Per-directory rules are inherited in all subdirectories of the directory
+where the merge-file was found.  Each subdirectory's rules are prefixed
+to the inherited rules from the parent directories, which gives the
+newest rules a higher priority than the inherited rules.  The entire set
+of per-dir rules is grouped together in the spot where the merge-file was
+specified, so it is possible to override per-dir rules via a rule that
+got specified earlier in the list of global rules.
+
+If you don't want a per-dir rule to be inherited, anchor it with a leading
+slash.  Anchored rules in a per-directory merge-file are relative to the
+merge-file's directory, so a rule "/foo" would only exclude the file "foo"
+in the directory where the per-dir exclude file was found.
+
+Here's an example exclude file which you'd specify via the normal
+--exclude-from=FILE option:
+
+verb(
+    -m /home/user/.global_excludes
+    *.gz
+    +p .incl
+    + *.[ch]
+    *.o
+)
+
+This will merge the contents of the /home/user/.global_excludes file at the
+start of the list and also turns the ".incl" filename into a per-directory
+include file.  All rules read in prior to the start of the directory scan
+follow the global anchoring rules (i.e. a leading slash matches at the root
+of the transfer).
+
+If a per-directory merge-file is specified with a path that is a parent
+directory of the first transfer directory, rsync will scan all the parent
+dirs from that starting point to the transfer directory for the indicated
+per-directory file.  For instance, the -E option is an abbreviation for
+this command:
+
+verb(
+  --exclude='-p /.rsync-excludes'
+)
+
+That exclude tells rsync to scan for the file .rsync-excludes in all
+directories from the root down through the source of the transfer.  (For
+an rsync daemon, the "root dir" is always the module's "path" setting.)
+
+Some examples of this pre-scanning for per-directory files:
+
+verb(
+  rsync -avE /src/path/ /dest/dir
+  rsync -av --exclude='-p ../../.rsync-excludes' /src/path/ /dest/dir
+  rsync -av --exclude='-p .rsync-excludes' /src/path/ /dest/dir
+)
+
+The first two commands above will look for ".rsync-excludes" in "/" and
+"/src" before the normal scan begins looking for the file in "/src/path"
+and its subdirectories.  The last command avoids the parent-dir scan
+and only looks for the ".rsync-excludes" files in each directory that is
+a part of the transfer.
+
+Finally, note that the parsing of any merge-file named ".cvsignore" is
+always done in a CVS-compatible manner, even if -C wasn't specified.  This
+means that its rules are always excludes (even if an include option
+specified the file), patterns are split on whitespace, the rules are never
+inherited, and no special characters are honored except for "!" (e.g. no
+comments, and no +/- prefixes).
+
+Additionally, you can affect where the --cvs-exclude (-C) option's
+inclusion of the per-directory .cvsignore file gets placed into your rules
+by adding your own explicit per-directory merge rule for ".cvsignore".
+Without this, rsync would add this rule at the end of all your other
+rules (giving it a lower priority than your command-line rules).  For
+example:
+
+verb(
+  rsync -avC --exclude='-p .cvsignore' --exclude-from=foo a/ b
+)
+
+The above will merge all the per-directory .cvsignore rules at the start of
+your list rather than at the end.  This allows their dir-specific rules to
+supersede your rules instead of being subservient to them.  (The global
+rules taken from the $HOME/.cvsignore file and from $CVSIGNORE are not
+repositioned by this.)
+
+manpagesection(PER-DIRECTORY EXCLUDES AND DELETE)
+
+Without a delete option, per-directory excludes are only relevant on the
+sending side, so you can feel free to exclude the merge files themselves
+without affecting the transfer:
+
+verb(
+  rsync -av --exclude='-p .excl' --exclude=.excl host:src/dir /dest
+)
+
+However, if you want to do a delete on the receiving side AND you want some
+files to be excluded from being deleted, you'll need to be sure that the
+receiving side knows what files to exclude.  The easiest way is to include
+the per-directory merge files in the transfer and use --delete-after
+because this ensures that the receiving side gets all the same exclude
+rules as the sending side before it tries to delete anything:
+
+verb(
+  rsync -avE --delete-after host:src/dir /dest
+)
+
+However, if the merge files are not a part of the transfer, you'll need
+to either use a global exclude rule (i.e. specified on the command line),
+or you'll need to maintain your own per-directory merge files on the
+receiving side.  An example of the first is this (assume that the remote
+.ctrl files exclude themselves):
+
+verb(
+  rsync -av --exclude='-p .ctrl' --exclude-from=/my/extra.rules
+    --delete host:src/dir /dest
+)
+
+In the above example the extra.rules file can affect both sides of the
+transfer, but the rules are subservient to the rules merged from the .ctrl
+files because they were specified after the per-directory merge rule.
+
+In one final example, the remote side is excluding the .rsync-excludes
+files from the transfer, but we want to use our own .rsync-excludes files
+to control what gets deleted on the receiving side.  To do this we must
+specifically exclude the per-directory merge files (so that they don't get
+deleted) and then put rules into the local files to control what else
+should not get deleted.  Like this:
+
+verb(
+  rsync -avE --exclude=.rsync-excludes --delete host:src/dir /dest
 )
