Good. Having a trailing-slash be meaningful is very confusing. I especially hate this with rsync, where I now use trailing-slash on dirs exclusively, since I've memorized the behaviour when you do this and not when you don't. It frustrates me because foo and foo/ might differ but they are both names for the same thing - and the behaviour should not differ if the name for the same thing differs IMHO. > which will fail with trailing slashes. I can understand why it would fail, since the argument to path is a pattern rather than a filename, and it is compared against find's list of paths which just so happen not to have trailing slashes. Having said that I wonder if this behaviour could be considered buggy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
