2002-04-08Remove redundant list of options. It might be nice to summarise theMartin Pool1-71/+16
most frequently-used ones in here. Nelson Beebe pointed out that the information about bug tracking was out of date.
2001-12-18Update README so that Paulus doesn't get bug reports anymore :-)Martin Pool1-7/+6
I think this document needs to be reworked to better explain how to use rsync, but not right now.
2000-11-02Correct license name. Note new address of pserver. Correct documentation.Martin Pool1-9/+13
2000-09-06README updateAndrew Tridgell1-2/+1
1999-02-22Add --delete-excluded option to delete files on the receiving side thatDavid Dykstra1-0/+1
are excluded. Implies --delete.
1999-02-18Changed exclude/include matching so that normally wildcards will stop atDavid Dykstra1-0/+1
slashes. The old behavior of crossing slashes can be achieved by using a double-asterisk ('**') anywhere in a pattern. Note that this can change some existing exclude patterns in a subtle way. Also note that if the remote side is an older release the processing on the two sides might not be exactly the same when there's no double-asterisk, which can affect which files are excluded from deletion, but they're close enough that people will probably not notice. I considered changing the protocol version and checking the remote_version number to ensure the same processing on both sides, but the exclude patterns are pre-processed before the remote version number is known and it's just not worth going through extraordinary efforts. Suggested by Cameron Simpson <cs@zip.com.au>
1999-02-17Added --copy-unsafe-links option which is like --copy-links except it isDavid Dykstra1-0/+1
only for symlinks that point outside the source tree. Suggested by Charles Hines <chuck_hines@VNET.IBM.COM> in PR#1376. Also apply the option to any symbolic links in the source portion of a path when --relative is used, as suggested by Francis Montagnac <Francis.Montagnac@sophia.inria.fr> on the rsync mailing list in a message titled "New option: --copy-parent-links".
1999-02-10Changed Usage in the rsync --help message to indicate how there can beDavid Dykstra1-6/+12
multiple SRCs. Also moved the --suffix option to show up right after --backup and included the default backup suffix and block size along with their corresponding options rather than at the end. Copied the new help message to rsync.yo and README and used the Usage also in the SYNOPSIS section at the top of rsync.yo rather than the different one that used "path" instead of SRC and DEST. That last change was inspired by a suggestion from Michael Bleyer in PR #1523.

- added a note about anonymous cvs access to the source code in the README
1997-12-15several changes:Andrew Tridgell1-0/+16
- by popular demand I have changed the behaviour of the --delete option. It should now work as "expected" for even those people silly enough not to read the man page. rsync will now only look for candidate files/directories to delete in directories that are explicitly transferred from the sender - updated the README a bit - try to fail a bit more gracefully when rsync runs out of disk space. I don't think this issues is fully resolved yet
