- - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
- against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
- there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
- would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
- "/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the
- old behavior in all versions.]
+ - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
+ the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
+ should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
+ rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync will now only
+ replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
+ dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
