Drush is changing permissions on the target root (@stage) 755 to 750 and overwritting .htaccess (@stage) When I run drush rsync @dev @stage How can I prevent these two actions?
As ever, I'm sure there is a documentation or discussion on these matters. I'm not clear from example.aliases.drushrc.php
I have not been successful in excluding .htaccess using the alias file, but the --exclude-path command line option seems to work. I executed the following : drush -v --exclude-paths=".htaccess:robots.txt" rsync @lb.workstation @lb.hostmonster
where '-v' gives me a look at what rsync is actually doing, and '--exclude-path' provides a string of file names delimited by ':' (colon) which should be ignored by drush.
But drush is still changing permissions to 750 on the root directory on the remote server. This disables the site until I reset the permissions to 755.
