.IP "\fB\-\-allow-path-traversal\fP"
Allow packages stored outside their repo directory to be synced.
These are packages that are referenced in metadata by using absolute paths or
up-level ".." symbols, and are normally skipped by \fBreposync\fR for security
reasons.

\fBCAUTION:\fR Using this option has potential security implications since, by
providing malicious repodata, an attacker could make \fBreposync\fR write to
arbitrary locations on the file system that are accessible by the user running
it.
