Implement the RSYNC_COMPAT Phase-2 filter/parser feature group:
- --files-from=FILE (repeatable) plus -0/--from0 NUL delimiters: parse the
source file list relative to the source root into a shared read-only
allow-set; the scanner transfers listed files and the whole subtree of
listed directories and prunes everything else in single- and
multithreaded mode. Absolute/'..' entries and missing files are hard
CLI errors.
- --filter=RULE: rsync-style +/- rules (anchored '/', dir-only trailing '/',
word include/exclude forms) evaluated first-match-wins with a default of
include, as an independent layer from legacy --exclude/--include.
Unsupported directives (merge/hide/... ) are rejected explicitly. -f stays
sendfile.
- -C/--cvs-exclude: well-known rsync CVS default exclude set.
- -F: per-directory .rsync-filter files read during traversal and applied to
the owning directory's subtree (single + parallel), never transferred.
- Delete manifest still derives from what was actually sent.
Client-only config fields; no wire/protocol change. Adds unit coverage
(CLI parse, allow-set and filter scanning single+parallel) and integration
tests (TestFilesFrom, TestFilters). RSYNC_COMPAT matrix rows updated:
5 rows move to Implemented (Summary 62/3/5/1/76 = 147).
Stage every successfully written file under a private 0700 .fastsync-stage
directory inside the receive root and atomically publish all staged files
only after the whole protocol stream (manifest/delete handling included)
has completed, immediately before the success/outcome frame. On any
abort/error before publication nothing is installed and staging is removed;
a publish failure aborts the transfer with best-effort cleanup of the
remainder (already-published files are not rolled back). Crash leftovers
are wiped when the next delayed transfer starts.
Wire: new delay_updates config flag (selection-options block), protocol
version bumped to 2.6.0, client/server validation rejects --inplace.
CLI/usage/validation updated. Works in single-threaded and -m modes
(exactly one write_thread stages files; the staged-file registry is
mutex-protected; publication runs once after both threads join).
--existing/--ignore-existing/--update decide against the final destination
at stage time; --backup is deferred to publication. remove_source_files
outcomes are only sent after publication so skipped/unpublished sources are
never deleted. Default (no flag) behavior is unchanged.
Tests: config wire round-trip, CLI parse, --inplace rejection, new
test_delay_updates unit suite (27 suites total), and integration
TestDelayUpdates covering single/-m parity, incremental reruns, remove
source files, receiver-skip ordering, and a deterministic publish-failure
abort path.
Receiver writes temps into a confined scratch dir and atomically renames
into place; EXDEV aborts; inplace/partial bypass; thread-safe temp names.
Uses existing wire field; no protocol bump. Reviewed (c-review APPROVE
WITH NITS, all fixed); PR #262.
Address c-review nits on the itemize/output feature:
- RSYNC_COMPAT.md: state that %b is the source length (always == %l) because
no wire-byte counter exists; keep Summary equal to the matrix (recounted:
54 implemented / 84 not-implemented, 147 rows total - four rows flipped).
- change_list.h/.c: document bytes_sent == size; note itemize/out-format lines
never interleave with each other but may interleave with legacy log
messages sharing the stream; mark the %M stat() path best-effort.
- change_render_format scan in format_uses_mtime now mirrors the tokenizer
(skips '%%' and unknown '%X' pairs) so a literal '%%M' no longer triggers
the stat() fallback.
- Integration tests: --list-only under -m; a changed file on a second
--incremental run emits exactly one '>f' line while unchanged files print
nothing; --log-file + --log-file-format under -m.
Add a rootless unit test that reaches the actual st_dev skip branch in both
the sequential and parallel (-m) scanners: a symlink nested under the scan
root points at a directory on /dev/shm (a different device than the build
fs) and, under --copy-links semantics, -x must drop that subtree while a
plain scan includes it. Skips only when no cross-device target exists.
Integration OneFileSystem test now cleans both dest dirs up front and
reports a busy test mountpoint instead of ignoring the umount result.
RSYNC_COMPAT.md notes that cross-filesystem mount-point subdirectories are
dropped entirely (rsync parity).
Implement rsync-style itemized output backed by one shared change-event
engine (src/client/change_list.c):
- -i/--itemize-changes prints ">f+++++++++ <path>" for files actually sent
(single-threaded and -m); unchanged files print nothing.
- --list-only prints an ls-style listing of files that would be transferred
without contacting the server or writing anything.
- --out-format=FORMAT prints a printf-style template per changed file
(tokens %%f %%n %%l %%b %%M %%%%; unknown escapes preserved).
- --log-file-format=FMT logs each transferred file when --log-file is set.
Events are emitted from the per-file sender path shared by both transfer
modes, so the single sender thread is the only reporter (no races).
Capture the transfer root's device (st_dev) at scanner creation and skip
descending into any subdirectory on a different device (a mount point).
Implemented sender/client-side only: sequential BFS and parallel (-m) root
scan apply the same scanner_same_filesystem decision; no wire/protocol change
and default behavior is unchanged. Unit tests cover the pure decision, same
device scanning in both modes, and CLI parsing; integration tests prove -x
leaves a single-filesystem tree byte-identical and, when root can mount a
tmpfs, skips a genuine cross-device subtree.
Reconcile the security-fixes branch's RSYNC_COMPAT.md updates onto dev:
- Keep dev's implemented statuses as authoritative and port the previously
undocumented rsync 3.4.1 rows (one-file-system, -F, temp-dir/-T, identity
mapping options, remote-option/-M, max-alloc) with code-verified statuses.
- Add the Implementation Difficulty Plan (Phases 1-6 + delivery order) as the
sequencing roadmap; note that it is a superset snapshot and the Summary
matrix is authoritative for shipped features.
- Recomputed the Summary counts from the table (was stale on dev): 51
implemented / 3 alt-arg / 5 partial / 1 no-op / 87 not implemented.
