Discussion about the detect-renamed patch

2007-10-30 Thread Charles Perreault
Hello, I heard recently about the detect-renamed patch for rsync. I was about to code something similar, I need it badly, but decided to give the patch a try first. It seems to work well but it's rename detection scheme seems to be limited. From my tests, it seems to detect that a file has

GPL version on rsync Web site

2007-10-30 Thread Matt McCutchen
Wayne, The rsync Web site at http://rsync.samba.org/ still claims that rsync is available under the GPL version 2. Now that a bunch of people are testing prereleases of rsync 3.0.0, you might want to update the site so that they don't assume they can distribute rsync 3.0.0 under the GPL v2. Matt

Assorted oddities with --relative

I have discovered a few oddities with --relative in the latest development rsync (from git, yay!): #1. Junk in the middle of a source argument leads to duplicate entries in the file list: $ mkdir src src/D $ rsync-dev -ni -rR ././src/.//.//.//.//.//.//.//./D/ dest/ cd+ src/ cd+ sr

Rsync hard-links devices with different mtimes despite -t: expected?

2007-10-30 Thread Matt McCutchen
I noticed that rsync is happy to hard-link a device node from a --link-dest dir even if its mtime differs from that of the source device node and --times is given. Is this behavior expected? It seems to break the rule that a difference in preserved attributes disqualifies a hard link. To see the
