RFE: ignore case of files

2010-01-17 Thread Linda A. Walsh
It would be 'nice' if there was an option for rsync to ignore case -- Windows is real lax about what case files are, and often files will end up with different cases depending on what util installed a font last. When you transfer to linux, you end up with 2 (or more) copies of f
