           Summary: rsync needlessly aborts when getcwd() fails
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: vapier at gentoo.org
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


rsync will abort if getcwd() fails even though the current working directory is
irrelevant to the request in question

for example, this should not fail:
cd ~/
mkdir -p src dst foo/a/b/c
touch src/a
cd foo/a/b/c
rm -rf ~/foo
rsync -a ~/src/ ~/dst/

that rsync command errors out with:
rsync: getcwd(): No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at util.c(992)
[receiver=3.0.6]

and looking in ~/dst/, i see no files have been transferred
