Just ran into this bug when running the latest snapshot from CVS: when
rsyncing from two source directories into a third one, rsync gets
confused about which source file is from which directory, resulting in a
"file vanished" error. See test script below.
Also, is there any consensus on whether using multiple source modules
when pulling from an rsync daemon is going to be ok? I recall some
discussion on escaping spaces or quoting them in the past but I'm not
sure if anything was decided. What I'm referring to is this case:
rsync -av rsync://server/'module1 module2 module3' dest/
Right now the latest CVS still supports this.
Thanks,
