Description David Leverton 2007-09-20 20:14:45 UTC

cd /tmp
mkdir foo bar
for i in `seq -w 0 99`; do touch foo/$i; done
rsync --recursive --remove-source-files --dry-run --verbose foo/ bar/

After executing the above commands, rsync prints the numbers 00 to 49 and then hangs, requiring Ctrl-C.  Both --remove-source-files and --dry-run are required to make it hang; either one on its own behaves correctly.  This occurs whether it was built with Portage or Paludis, with or without the acl USE-flag.

Portage 2.1.3.9 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 x86_64)

just dont use the --dry-run option and it'll work fine ;)

the fix from upstream is in rsync-3.0.0-r2
