You probably noticed that --write-batch can't currently be used with --dry-run. I've considered that this would be useful functionality for while now. > > Doable? It's doable, but not trivial. It involves a more "complete" dry-run implementation. It's probably a nice project for someone getting into hacking on rsync. If I had more time for rsync hacking, this is probably the functionality I'd most like to add. -chris -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
