Wayne Davison <way...@samba.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #2 from Wayne Davison <way...@samba.org> --- You'd probably be better served by asking about something like this on the mailing list, as there is no issue with .* concerning rsync -- this is entirely a shell issue. In this instance you're probably using bash, which is so stupid that it expands ".*" to include "..", which is obviously not what you want. I personally use zsh, which doesn't have this issue. When using bash, you could instead try a "path/.??*" (if all your dot files are at least 2 chars after the dot) or something like ".[a-z]*" (though you might also need A-Z and 0-9 etc added). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
