For cmd 'rsync "$UNSET_VAR" --debug=ALL5 --verbose --recursive -- /data/src/
/data/dest/'
Hi! It's my first bug report here so let me know if I should clarify anything!
If you add empty quotes to the rsync command line, it is interpreted as the
current working directory ("."), and added to the SRC args. It doesn't matter
if the quotes come before or after any options, if it comes before "--" or if
there are other source directories specified.
This is a problem if you specify quoted bash variables on the command line and
one of them happens to be unset.
/data/cwd $ ls
file-i-dont-want-to-copy.txt
/data/cwd $ rsync "$UNSET_VAR" --recursive --verbose -- /data/src/ /data/dest/
sending incremental file list
file-i-dont-want-to-copy.txt

sent 819,001 bytes received 54 bytes 1,638,110.00 bytes/sec
total size is 818,581 speedup is 1.00
I have attached the output of the command with '--debug=ALL5' added, if it
helps.
