With rsync-3.0.6 on a Solaris 10/x86 system:
$ mkdir /opt/s/c
$ cd /opt/s/c
$ gtar zxf rsync-3.0.6.tar.gz
$ mkdir /opt/s/o
$ rsync -aHv rsync-3.0.6 /opt/s/o
$ mkdir /opt/s/o2
$ cd /opt/s/o/rsync-3.0.6
$ echo foo >configure
$ rsync -aHv --compare-dest=/opt/s/c /opt/s/o/rsync-3.0.6 /opt/s/o2
$ cd /opt/s/o2
$ find .
./rsync-3.0.6
./rsync-3.0.6/doc
./rsync-3.0.6/lib
./rsync-3.0.6/packaging
./rsync-3.0.6/packaging/bin
./rsync-3.0.6/packaging/lsb
./rsync-3.0.6/packaging/solaris
./rsync-3.0.6/popt
./rsync-3.0.6/support
./rsync-3.0.6/testhelp
./rsync-3.0.6/testsuite
./rsync-3.0.6/zlib
./rsync-3.0.6/configure
Is there a way, with --compare-dest, to perform the transfer without
creating empty directories? What I want is:
$ find .
./rsync-3.0.6
./rsync-3.0.6/configure
