• Bug#266373: rsync -v doesn't list files whose metadata change

    From Dan Christensen@1:229/2 to All on Tue Aug 17 21:30:12 2004

    Package: rsync
    Version: 2.6.2-2
    Severity: normal


    mkdir source
    touch source/file
    mkdir target
    rsync -auv source/ target

    chmod go+w source/file
    rsync -auv source/ target

    Output of the last command is:

    | building file list ... done
    |
    | wrote 82 bytes read 20 bytes 204.00 bytes/sec
    | total size is 0 speedup is 0.00

    It doesn't list source/file, even though the permissions have
    changed. The same happens with owner/group.

    In particular, if rsync is run with "-n" and "-v", it appears
    that the trees are identical, which is misleading.
