Package: s3cmd
Version: 0.9.9-2
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if sync could detect renamed files, which it will
currently delete and re-upload.  The detection could easily be done at
the end of _compare_filelists(), by trying to find matches between what
remains of src_list and dst_list by size and MD5.  This should probably
be an option, though, since it may force the computation of the hash
over many local files.

(Note: beware of the edge case of swapping two files.)

Another improvement (though less useful to me) would be to detect copied
files, a sort of generalization of the above.


I thought of giving the renaming case a try, but the code's a bit too
hairy for my tastes.  So, here's a wishlist report instead.
