It might take an hour to calculate hashes. But that'd > be fine. --fuzzy chooses one destination file whose name looks the most similar to the source name and uses that as a basis, so it fits nicely into rsync's existing workflow. Your suggestion of using the entire destination as a basis for every transfer is fundamentally different, so I wouldn't call it --very-fuzzy. Implementing that in rsync would be a pain. A technique that accomplishes essentially the same thing is to tar up the source and destination and then delta-transfer the tar file, assuming you have enough disk space. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
