Summary: Implement something like --very-fuzzy
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd like rsync to be able to compare all files on both sides to each other. All
of them.
Use case: I have a 70GB music directory. I sync it between home and work. At
home I run a retagger which tags and renames pretty much every file and
directory. So they've all moved, they're all named differently, AND their
contents have changed. This basically would result in 70GB of transfers.
If rsync were to calculate block hashes for EVERY FILE on BOTH SIDES, and then
use those hashes as the sources of new files, this would not take the 2 weeks
it would take otherwise. It might take an hour to calculate hashes. But that'd
be fine.
So maybe --very-fuzzy, --really-fuzzy, or even --fuzzy --fuzzy --fuzzy.
