Hello, I'm probably missing something (apologies if so), but this has worked for me for years, and starting from 3.0.0pre5 has stopped working in a way that smells of some kind of bug. To reproduce the (possible) bug, set up the following scene. Remote host/directory: remote_host:/some/dir Local host: current directory containing file `foo' (I'm assuming working passwordless ssh connection between local and remote host) From the directory containing the file foo I issue the following command: rsync -e ssh -r --include='/foo' --exclude='*' ./ remote_host:/some/dir Now: for versions <=3.0.0pre4 this copies foo to the remote host, but for versions >=3.0.0pre5, foo is not copied any more. Running the command in verbose mode does not throw any light into my (lack of) knowledge: rsync -e ssh -rvv --include='/foo' --exclude='*' ./ remote_host:/some/dir gives: opening connection using: ssh remote_host rsync --server -vvre30.14i . /some/dir sending incremental file list removing duplicate name . from file list (2) removing duplicate name . from file list (3) removing duplicate name . from file list (4) removing duplicate name . from file list (5) delta-transmission enabled total: matches=0 hash_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0 sent 51 bytes received 15 bytes 132.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 I can add that all works nicely even with version>=3.0.0pre5 the other way around: i.e.: rsync -e ssh -r --include='/foo' --exclude='*' remote_host:/some/dir ./ copies remote_host:/some/dir/foo into local current directory, as I was always used to obtain. Am I doing something wrong or something has changed between 3.0.0pre4 and 3.0.0pre5? I could not find any report on this in bugzilla, and this makes me think I might be making some gross mistake, but, as I said, that used to work for years and still perfectly works for versions<=3.0.0pre4. I'm on linux (2.6.23.12, i686) I thank you very much in advance for any hint and, of course, for making rsync available. ciao gabriele
