With "exclude = /secret" in the configuration file, I can still pull the
contents of a daemon-excluded directory like this:
rsync-dev -r -vi rsync://user@localhost:3141/module/./secret/ download/
And like this:
rsync-dev -r -vi --files-from=<(echo secret/) --no-R rsync://user@localhost:3141/module/ download/
BTW, what is the purpose of leaving the path truncated in
"filter_server_path"? This makes it possible to distinguish between a
nonexistent and daemon-excluded dir /secret by trying to pull /secret/X/
and seeing whether the path in the error message is truncated.
