Description Paul Arnold 2008-07-31 01:51:27 UTC 
Running the following:
rsync -r --delay-updates --temp-dir=.tmp --partial-dir=.tmp/partial --partial --remove-sent-files "/tmp/rsync-sender/dir" "/tmp/rsync-receiver"

will cause the files to be deleted from the sending side and not created on the receiving side.

While running:
rsync -r --delay-updates --temp-dir=.tmp --partial-dir=.partial --partial --remove-sent-files "/tmp/rsync-sender/dir" "/tmp/rsync-receiver"

works as expected.
Comment 1 Wayne Davison 2008-08-01 21:06:12 UTC 
This is fixed in the git repository and will be included in 3.0.4pre2.

Thanks for the report!
