This option is inferred if you use bf(--backup) without bf(--backup-dir). +This option also has the side-effect of avoiding early creation of directories +in incremental recursion copies. The default bf(--inc-recursive) copying +normally does an early-create pass of all the sub-directories in a parent +directory in order for it to be able to then set the modify time of the parent +directory right away (without having to delay that until a bunch of recursive +copying has finished). This early-create idiom is not necessary if directory +modify times are not being preserved, so it is skipped. Since early-create +directories don't have accurate mode, mtime, or ownership, the use of this +option can help when someone wants to avoid these partially-finished +directories. + dit(bf(-J, --omit-link-times)) This tells rsync to omit symlinks when it is preserving modification times (see bf(--times)). |
