[tor-mirrors] rsync -C/--cvs-exclude flag

Tue Oct 14 23:17:38 UTC 2014

Something that might be useful to add to the Tor mirror website...

Make sure you don't run `rsync` with the -C (--cvs-exclude) flag. I
typically use this in all my rsync commands, to prevent syncing of junk
files like backups (files matching patterns like *~, *.bak, &c.). It
seems like an innocuous-enough flag to add, like -z or --bwlimit or the
like.

Unfortunately, -C also excludes *.exe files, which meant my Tor mirror
wasn't hosting any of the executables---and it was making my Tor mirror
sporadically appear to be up, or down, depending on which file the
mirror testing script checked.
