temp files during copy

[Jim Ogilvie]

Hi,

I know rsync creates temp files in the destination directory  and
then at some point renames them to the original file name.  Therefore
the destination directories need to be larger than the source directories.

I'm trying to find a way to calculate how much larger the destination
directories
need to be. How does rsync decide when to rename them?  Is it by directory?

Thanks,
