Rsyncrypto on Windows Vista

[Thomas C. <tho...@op...>]

Hello,

First of all, many thanks for this nice piece of software !

I am actually building a pygtk frontend to rsync + rsyncrypto.

I was having some troubles on the newest (and crappiest) microsoft
product:
To support old applications, windows xp style directories (my documents,
application data, and so forth) are implemented in Windows Vista using
some kind of symlink, called "junction".

And rsyncrypto actually choke on such file, giving a "input/output
error".

I am actually going around this problem by using the --filelist option.

The actual filelist is generated by the following python code:

      try:
         myfile = open( filelist, "w" )
      except Exception, detail:
         print 'IO error ', detail
         sys.exit(1)

      for root, dirs, files in os.walk( path ):
         for f in files:
            p = os.path.join( root, f)
            myfile.write( os.path.join(root, f )+"\n")
      myfile.close()
      return filelist

It would be nice if rsyncrypto can handle (meaning ignore) this kind of
file more graciously.

Best regards

Keep up the good work
