           Summary: When a single file is specified, the exclusion of it in
                    the exclude-from file is ignored
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.7
          Platform: x64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: gordan at bobich.net
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


If a single file is specified for rsyncing, and that file is specified in the
exclude file, it gets rsynced anyway. This is broken behaviour - if there is
such a conflict of instruction, it should fail "safe" and do nothing.

e.g.:
$ cat /tmp/test/exclude 
/tmp/test/1/foo

$ touch /tmp/test/1/foo

$ ls -laR /tmp/test/
/tmp/test/:
total 4
drwxrwxr-x  4 gordan gordan 100 May 21 22:22 .
drwxrwxrwt 13 root   root   280 May 21 22:31 ..
drwxrwxr-x  2 gordan gordan  60 May 21 22:05 1
drwxrwxr-x  2 gordan gordan  40 May 21 22:23 2
-rw-rw-r--  1 gordan gordan  16 May 21 22:22 exclude

/tmp/test/1:
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 gordan gordan  60 May 21 22:05 .
drwxrwxr-x 4 gordan gordan 100 May 21 22:22 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gordan gordan   5 May 21 22:05 foo

/tmp/test/2:
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 2 gordan gordan  40 May 21 22:23 .
drwxrwxr-x 4 gordan gordan 100 May 21 22:22 ..

$ rsync --exclude-from=/tmp/test/exclude /tmp/test/1/foo /tmp/test/2/

$ ls -la /tmp/test/2/
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 gordan gordan  60 May 21 22:42 .
drwxrwxr-x 4 gordan gordan 100 May 21 22:22 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gordan gordan   5 May 21 22:42 foo

Tested on both x86 and x64, and rsync versions 2.6.8 and 3.0.7, so this seems
to be a long standing issue.
