Re: Windows 8 Release Preview. fork problems with rsync

[Bertrand Latinville <blatinville44@gmail.com>]

I'm using

 rsync --chmod=ug=rwX -arvz --prune-empty-dirs  --include="*/"
--include-from=include-file.txt  --exclude="*" ${source_dir}/
${dest_dir}

The include list from include-file.txt is up to four lines with some
wildcard like
folder1/folder2/*.dll
folder3/**
