openSUSE patches rsync with a patch adding SIP protocol support. https://gist.github.com/2026167 With this patch, running rsync with no hostname parameter is apparently supposed to list SIP hosts on the network. Practically, it does nothing and exits 0. git-annex uses rsync in a very special way to allow git-annex-shell to be run on the remote host, and so did not need to specify a hostname, or a file to transfer as a rsync parameter. So it sent ":", a degenerate case of "host:file". But the patch cannot differentiate ":" with no host parameter (a bug in the SIP patch surely). Results were that getting files failed, as rsync seemed to succeed, but the requested file failed to arrive. Also I think that sending files will make git-annex think a file has been transferred to the remote when really rsync does nothing. The workaround for this buggy rsync patch is to use "dummy:" as the hostname. |
