           Summary: rsync loses track of files if differing directory
                    prefixes are given
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.9
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: mluscon at redhat.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Description of problem:
  If rsync is given a list of files containing differing relative directory
  prefixes, it will lose track of the source files.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup:
  % mkdir /tmp/test
  % cd /tmp/test
  % mkdir -p c/d dest
  % touch a.c b.c c/d/e.c f.c

2. Rsync
  % rsync -av --update ./a.c ./b.c ./c/d/e.c ./f.c dest/
  sending incremental file list
  rsync: link_stat "/tmp/tvb-test/f.c" failed: No such file or directory (2)
  file has vanished: "/tmp/tvb-test/a.c"
  file has vanished: "/tmp/tvb-test/b.c"
  e.c

  sent 125 bytes  received 69 bytes  388.00 bytes/sec
  total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
  rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors)
(code 23) at main.c(1052) [sender=3.0.8]

  The files have NOT vanished.  It is just that rsync has lost track of
  where they were.
