Hello Ian and thanks for this bug report. My question here is: is this
actually a bug?
The manpage for --update says:
This forces rsync to skip any files which exist on the destination
and have a modified time that is newer
It seems sensible to me to make this a '>=' comparison, and not a strict
'>' comparison: when considering modification times there's no need to
update a file which has the same timestamp of the source file.
In other words: I fail to see the problem here. Could you please
elaborate a bit more? Thanks!
** Changed in: rsync (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
