How about this: $ DIR=`pwd` $ mkdir src $ mkdir tgt $ touch src/a $ touch src/b $ touch src/c $ ls src a b c $ cd src; find . > $DIR/files; cd .. $ cat $DIR/files . ./a ./b ./c $ rsync --files-from=$DIR/files src tgt $ ls tgt a b c You could, for instance, use e2scan to generate a list of files that have changed and feed the list to rsync.
