Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.6-1
Severity: wishlist

I make nightly backups of 1TB+ of data that are continuously
read-write accessed and I constantly have *huge* output of the cron
job because of vanished files:

I'd like rsync to provide an option called '--ignore-vanished' that
would not display those warnings anymore and not exit with value 24
("Partial transfer due to vanished source files" according to the
manpage).

Thanks.
