Summary: Add option to normalize Unicode filenames
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.7
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: core

This is somewhere between a bug and an enhancement. When moving files with
Unicode names between different OSes, it would make life a lot easier if there
was an option to normalize filenames to a particular unicode form on the
destination.
For example, rsyncing from OS X to Linux names the files using the OS X
standard, Normalization form D. Linux prefers Normalization form C, which means
sharing this folder via Samba results in a number of folders that can't be
accessed. Likewise when running rsync from OS X to a Windows box running
cygwin. I think the best solution to this would be something like
"--destination-charset=UTF-8-NFC", to rename the files from the source charset
to the destionation charset.
