Thanks for the patch. I can confirm that --iconv option works now from iso8859-1 to utf-8 transfer. It would be good to add link to convmv script into rsync --iconv documentation. convmv can be found from http://www.j3e.de/linux/convmv/ If --iconv option is being added to existing, for example backup script, one should prepare the destination file structure with convmv to prevent unnecessary retransmission of "renamed" files. This is very important, if there are characters needing conversion in top level folder names. All files in such folders will be retransmitted due to renaming of the top level folder.
