           Summary: Reject passing an argument to an option that doesn't
                    take one
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: matt at mattmccutchen.net

Rsync should reject an attempt to pass an argument to a command-line option
that doesn't take an argument.  For example, this incorrect attempt to disable
--perms should be rejected:

$ rsync -a --perms=off ...

Currently it works just like --perms.

The above example was seen on the rsnapshot list:
