https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6307

           Summary: --remove-source-files removes files if source and
                    destination are the same
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.5
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: cdauth+samba.org at cdauth.de
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


I wanted to move the files of a directory (whose path was only slightly
different from the current directory) to the current directory. Unfortunately,
I errorneously passed the current directory as first parameter instead of the
other one. The rsync call was rsync --append -avAHSP --remove-source-files
/path/to/current/directory/ .
The files in the current directory were deleted. I think rsync should check
whether the source and the destination files are the same (like mv does, for
instance) and in that case prevent the files from being deleted.
