------- Comment #1 from matt at mattmccutchen.net 2009-09-22 21:50 CST -------
The current behavior is correct according to the long description in the man
page:
--force
This option tells rsync to delete a non-empty directory when it is to be
replaced by a non-directory.
The short documentation, "force deletion of dirs even if not empty", is
misleading. I suggest changing it to "OK to replace non-empty dirs with
non-dirs" (just under the length limit).
ciolfi, if you don't want protected destination files to pin their ancestor
directories, you need to use the "P" filter modifier.
