Re: [Duplicity-talk] --skip-same-content: Option to skip files whose content hasn't changed

Hi Edgar,

I failed to mention that I tried to use the "+ **" at the end of the
file list... I tried it again, and here's the error message that I
get:

Reading globbing filelist /tmp/test-dup.files
Last selection expression:
    Command-line include glob: **
only specifies that files be included.  Because the default is to
include all files, the expression is redundant.  Exiting because this
probably isn't what you meant.


And here's my updated file list:
# cat /tmp/test-dup.files
- **/test-dup/folder-a
**/test-dup/folder-b/*.txt
- **/test-dup/folder-b
+ **

this is a known confusing issue, but as long as nobody takes care of it it'll
probably stay that way ;)

let me explain:

the selection works from top to bottom prioritywise, and the patterns have to
match if defined.

so your defs say

- **/test-dup/folder-a
**/test-dup/folder-b/*.txt
- **/test-dup/folder-b

which says nothing about the folder-c or other paths. adding

+ **

to the end would fix that.
