Protocol: 29 (changed)
Changes since 2.6.3:
+ OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+ - When rsync deletes a directory and outputs a verbose message about
+ it, it now appends a trailing slash to the name instead of (only
+ sometimes) outputting a preceding "directory " string.
+
BUG FIXES:
- Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
- The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest,
--link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options.
+ - Added the --dirs (-d) option for an easier way to copy directories
+ without recursion.
+
+ - Added the --list-only option which is mainly a way for the client to
+ put the server into listing mode without needing to resort to any
+ option kluges (e.g. the age-old use of "-r --exclude="/*/*" for a
+ non-recursive listing).
+
+ - Added the --omit-dir-times (-O) option which will avoid updating the
+ modified time for directories when --times was specified. For a
+ really large transfer, this option will avoid an extra pass through
+ the file-list at the end of the transfer to tweak all the directory
+ times.
+
+ - Added the --delete-during (--del) option which will delete files
+ from on the receiving side incrementally as each directory in the
+ transfer is being processed (which makes it more efficient than
+ the default, before-the-transfer behavior of --delete).
+
+ - Added the --filter (-f) option and its helper option, -F. Filter
+ rules are an extension to the existing include/exclude handling
+ that also supports nested filter files as well as per-directory
+ filter files (like .cvsignore, but with full filter-rule parsing).
+ This new option was chosen in order to ensure that all existing
+ include/exclude processing remained 100% compatible with older
+ versions.
+
- Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some
files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at
once at the end of the transfer. Only works when pulling, and uses
