There are a lot vagrant issues about rsync on windows and reducing the variable parts would probably simplify finding a robust solution for these, too.\r\n\r\nAs an example it took me two attempts of a few hours each to get rsync running with vagrant. And now it only works with a hack¹ in my Vagrantfile and cwRsync which bundles an ssh version that sucks hard at utf-8. Not exactly a good starting point for convincing co-workers to pick up vagrant.\r\n\r\n¹ `ENV[\"VAGRANT_DETECTED_OS\"] = ENV[\"VAGRANT_DETECTED_OS\"].to_s + \" cygwin\"`"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/comments/171254737","html_url":"https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/5534#issuecomment-171254737","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/5534","id":171254737,"user":{"login":"raphinesse","id":1006620,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1006620?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/raphinesse","html_url":"https://github.com/raphinesse","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raphinesse/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raphinesse/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raphinesse/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raphinesse/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raphinesse/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raphinesse/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raphinesse/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raphinesse/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raphinesse/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-13T11:01:35Z","updated_at":"2016-01-13T11:01:35Z","body":"@Perni1984 I was using rsync for one way host to guest synchronization to circumvent problems that come with synced folders in certain scenarios (symlinks, poor performance with huge amounts of files)."}}
