Package: dirvish
Version: 1.2.1-1.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When having a line in the vault config like:
tree: /root/backupmnt/ /
It behaves like
tree: /root/backupmnt/
The alias to "/" is ignored. This means that a file at the root of the
transfer named test, ends up in the index named
/root/backupmnt/test
Whereas one would expect the index file to contain this name as
/test
because of the alias option.
Attached patch fixes that behaviour. Currently, dirvish does the
following things:
- remove trailing slashes
- if "alias" is empty, set it equal to "path", the first argument to the
tree option.
By reversing the order of these two operations, the behaviour ought to
be as expected for all cases, including "alias to root", if you ask me.
Thanks,
Peter.
