Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rsync
In rsync's man page (version 3.0.6 under Ubuntu 9.10), it is stated that
the command line option for excluding files and directories list in a
file is as follows:
--exclude-from=FILE
This does not work and causes FILE to be ignored. The syntax that works
is as follows:
--exclude-from FILE
with a space instead of an equals sign. The code or man page need to be
fixed so that they are consistent with each other.
** Affects: rsync (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
