Hello everybody,
I'm using rsync (debian 3.0.2-1) to test my pet projects for correctness; but
now I've come across a bug (?) in rsync - it doesn't count transferred links,
ie. "Number of files transferred:" is wrong.
See:
# mkdir a b
# ln -s /bin/ls a/link ; t
For stats, rsync uses the word "file" inconsistently. When reporting
the total "Number of files", it indicates a total number of filesystem
objects which consists of regular files, directories, symlinks,
specials, and devices. When reporting number of "files"
files, directories, symlinks,
> specials, and devices.
That's fine by me.

That's not so good.

That's what -i is for. I

rring anything
that does not jive with the "Number of files transferred" and "Matched
data" stats and the absence of the -t option. ("Matched data" is data
matched by the delta-transfer algorithm in transferred files; files that
are already up to date are counted neither
00 files as the "Number of files" but
only 2 were indicated as transferred under the "Number of files
transferred" item of the same report.
I know this number is wrong as there was nothing in my testing dir and
now there are the entire contents of the /etc, /var and /root dir,
t dirs in my testing directory and the file
