Bug ID: 11571
Summary: rsync-3.1.1 --link-dest arbitrary limit
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.1
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P5
Component: core
Assignee: wayned at samba.org
Reporter: fedja.beader at t-2.net
QA Contact: rsync-qa at samba.org
Luckily this one was caught while still in development as
there were more than 20 old "snapshots" to test with:
rsync: ERROR: at most 20 --link-dest args may be specified
Looking into the source:
rsync.h:151:#define MAX_BASIS_DIRS 20
There is no warning about this in the rsync manpage. This
limit should be lifted as it makes no sense to me.
