I have the following situation: file2 on remote host and file1 on localhost. file1 and file2 are mostly the same. Simply running rsync remotehost:file2 file2 will actually transfer the entire file. But I would like to use the factt that I have local file1 that is mostly similar to file2. I.e. how can I make rsync to use file1 as a reference while transferring file2? (cp file1 file2 locally and then using --inplace switch to rsync sound like and idea, but look awkward for me. Anything better?)
