copy files on macOS Ventura 13.4 and missed 50 % size
copying 21.550.875.699 Byte (22,2 GB auf dem Volume) für 103.345 Objekte copied only 12.467.449.291 Byte (13,12 GB auf dem Volume) für 103.258 Objekte
the directory is a git repo
used the following variants:
xcp -v -r -w 3
xcp -v -r --gitignore -w 3
with file manager macos -> ok with total commander -> ok
cargo install xcp
Updating crates.io index
Ignored package xcp v0.9.4 is already installed
I can't reproduce this locally, and unfortunately I don't have access to macOS any more.
Can you provide a link to the repository you used? It is very large, which makes me think it might be a compiled project? In that case you would expect the --gitignore to cause it to skip a large number of files.
That repository is only 5GB when I check it out? But that probably doesn't matter, as I can't reproduce this with any large repository.
One thing to try: Can you copy a large directory that is not a git repository? If it does fail to copy can you run it with -vv and send me the logs.
