Hello rsync people
I've noticed an apparent inconsistency in the ordering of output from
the --list-only option.
For example:
$ ls
d1 d2 d2-x d3 f1 f2 f2-x f3
$ rsync --list-only .
drwxr-xr-x 4096 2012/12/17 15:18:05 .
-rw-r--r-- 0 2012/12/17 15:17:52 f1
-rw-r--r-- 0 2012/12/17 15:17:52 f2
-rw-r--r-- 0 2012/12/17 15:17:52 f2-x
-rw-r--r-- 0 2012/12/17 15:17:52 f3
drwxr-xr-x 4096 2012/12/17 15:17:40 d1
drwxr-xr-x 4096 2012/12/17 15:17:40 d2-x
drwxr-xr-x 4096 2012/12/17 15:17:40 d2
drwxr-xr-x 4096 2012/12/17 15:17:40 d3
Note that the files are listed in a 'sensible' order, with f2-x coming
after f2. But for the directories, d2-x comes before d2.
Is this a bug or a feature? (I'm running rsync 3.0.9 on 64-bit Arch Linux.)
And more importantly, can I rely on the output staying the same in the
future?
cheers
Chris
