I don't have the technical knowledge to bring this idea into the real world but: What do you think about adding a tar/zip option? I like to rsync my /Documents directory and as i was doing so this morning my pen drive ran out of room. I only ever make minor changes to /Documents and sometimes I forget to backup what I've changed and then forget what I've changed and so rsync makes it simple (especially with --delete). This is possibly beside the point: To get everything to fit on the pen drive I discovered deleting .Trash* freed up the space. My question is why does deleting a file move it to .Trash but not make the space available for reuse?
