Summary: -x negates --force
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.7
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: core

more specifically, -x inhibits --force from recursively descending a directory
to delete when it is being replaced by a non-directory. 2.6.9 and 3.0.7 on all
platforms I've tested exhibit the same behavior. Mac, linux, OpenBSD. The
following commands produce the error:
rm -rf src dest
mkdir src src/sub1 src/sub1/sub1a src/sub2 src/sub2/sub2a
rsync -ax src/ dest/
rm -Rf src/sub2
ln -s sub1 src/sub2
rsync --force -ax src/ dest/
