allow downloading a pseudo folder to specific target
imagine I want to download the contents of a pseudo-folder (e.g. /container1/
rsync /container/
I could also add a trailing slash to the target:
rsync /container/
but if I want to do this using the swift client I have do cd to the target directory and then run this command:
swift download --prefix=
but this does not result into /loc/pseudo2 as one would expect or in /loc/pseudo3 as perhaps expected but in /loc/pseudo1.... (as not expected)
all users (actually looking over their shoulder) find this confusing. We try to work around this issue using a wrapper
https:/
but of course this is a hack and we cannot use --skip-identical any more which is kind of an issue if you try to shuffle many terabyte around.
Please add an option such as --target to swift download !
