Let us know if that ever gets merged into the official releases. I could use that feature. I download a lot of media files and when I normalize their names, rsync treats them as new files. At this point, I don't want to build my own rsync. I haven't learned git yet and have to be sure that I do

hello, a patch could help you in the case of a move or rename of a file : Patch : --detect-renamed (1) match in size & modify-time (plus the basename, if possible) (2) or match in size & checksum (when --checksum was also specified) and use each match as an alternate basis file to speed up the tr

rsync based on checksum only

2012-07-05 Thread Yan Seiner
Is it possible to tell rsync *not* to use file names, date stamps, etc and only use the checksum for deciding if a file is the same? the remote machine "normalizes" a set of file names to remove all punctuation marks and forces all file names to lower case. The files themselves are unchanged. --
