Summary: --delete erase files on receiving side that EXIST on
sending side
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.2
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
ReportedBy: neva at nevalabs.org

Hello,
According to rsync documentation:
--delete
This tells rsync to delete any files on the receiving side that
arenât on the sending side. Files that are excluded from
transfer are excluded from being deleted unless you use
--delete-excluded.
If I run rsync in daemon mode, and use a configuration file, files excluded in
the configuration file are correctly excluded from transfer, but they ARE
DELETED on receiving side.
Example:
I have these files:
# ls -1 src/
copy.no
copy.yes
# ls -1 dest/
copy.no
copy.yes
#cat rsyncd.conf
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
uid=nobody
gid=nobody
use chroot=false
[files]
path=src
exclude=- *.no + *.yes - *
server command line:
#rsync --daemon --no-detach --config=./rsyncd.conf
client command line (1):
#rsync -n -avz --delete 127.0.0.1::files dest
client command line (2) - works as expected:
#rsync -n -avz --delete --exclude='*.no' 127.0.0.1::files dest
When I run (1), I have the following output:
# rsync -n -avz --delete 127.0.0.1::files dest
receiving file list ... done
deleting copy.no
wrote 78 bytes read 120 bytes 396.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
When I run (2), I get this:
# rsync -n -avz --delete --exclude='*.no' 127.0.0.1::files dest
receiving file list ... done
wrote 86 bytes read 120 bytes 412.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
Conclusion: Probably when files are excluded in a configuration, these are
really not counted as excluded files for the --delete option, so even if they
are excluded in configuration file, they will be deleted if --delete is used.
Versions affected: at least 2.5.7 and 2.6.2

This problem was discovered using ssh with a remote host, but I simplified the
example to make it easier to reproduce the problem.
If any additional info is needed, please contact me.
