Description Thomas Fuegi 2006-10-29 11:37:55 UTC 
Observed in version 2.6.8 on Linux.

$ ls -l

$ rsync --list-only *

The "--dry-run --verbose" combination of options seems to work correctly.
Comment 1 Thomas Fuegi 2006-10-29 11:52:39 UTC 
Ah. Not a bug. Last argument is still taken as a destination, so 
"rsync --list-only ." works correctly.

It may useful to check for the mistaken use of "*"... but that's nothing to do with --list-only. The only connection is that --listonly works both with and without a destination argument.
