           Summary: Rsync --min-size and --max-size filter too late in the
                    process.
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.9
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: r.e.wolff at bitwizard.nl
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


To allow me to copy a very large directory that cannot be copied in one go (see
bug 5727) I restricted the sizes of the files to part of the range of
filesizes.

However, it turns out that rsync still loads all files into the in-memory list
of files to copy. This means that rsync still crashes even when I restrict the
number of files-to-copy by 95%. 

(Copying by subdirectory doesn't work for me: there are loads of hardlinks, and
because I know that files of size XX won't be hardlinked to files of size YY, I
can copy in stages by limiting the filesizes).
