Not sure if this has ever been covered, but I can't seem to find anything on
Google:
Is it possible to perform the following for moved files (i.e. files that
already exist on destination, but are moved into a different or new dir on
the source):
- generate filelist including deleted files (without deleting)
- during transfer, for each *new* file, check against above list for
deletions.
- If there is a match, and size is similar, try using that file as a basis
for transfer.
- finally delete all... (like --delete-after)
All this would be sort of related to the --fuzzy option, but for moved files
instead of renamed. This would be especially useful for scripts that deal
with a few large files that sometimes change place, are dumped into archive
dirs etc...
I'm not sure if this can already be done with some combination of options,
if not I think it would be a cool feature.
Cheers
Julian
