support/rsync-slash-strip

   1 #!/bin/bash
   2 # This script can be used as an rsync command-line filter that strips a single
   3 # trailing slash from each arg.  That treats "src/" the same as "src", thus
   4 # you need to use "src/." or "src//" for just the contents of the "src" dir.
   5 # (Note that command-line dir-excludes would need to use "excl//" too.)
   6 #
   7 # To use this, name it something like "rs", put it somewhere in your path, and
   8 # then use "rs" in place of "rsync" when you are typing your copy commands.
