The task is syncing from ubuntu (rsync version 3.1.1) to windows using cygwin (rsync version 3.1.2). I have a number of these configurations, and they all work except this one. I use the modify-window=600 and cannot understand the deletion (the times on the machines are within seconds of each other). I have cranked up the verbosity level (-vvvvvv) hoping I could find something that explains why the files/folders are all being deleted. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Example of the log entries:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>delete_item(fullpath/file) mode=100755 flags=4<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am assuming the 755 is the file permissions.
