           Summary: rsync not recursive when using -a in combination with --
                    files-from
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.8
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: masteradi at gmx.ch
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


rsync does not copy files recursively when -a and --files-from are used
together:

adi at stargate:~$ mkdir src dst; touch src/testfile; echo src > files
adi at stargate:~$ rsync -a --files-from=files . dst
adi at stargate:~$ find dst/
dst/
dst/src

But it it's doing is recursively, when an additional -r is given:

adi at stargate:~$ rm -rf dst/; mkdir dst
adi at stargate:~$ rsync -ra --files-from=files . dst
adi at stargate:~$ find dst/
dst/
dst/src
dst/src/testfile
