I'm not thrilled with how the rename patches work, especially since they disable incremental recursion. As such, I'm hoping to change how they work before considering adding renaming handling to a released version. One option is making further enhancements to the db.diff patch that would let rsync leverage DB info on where files are and what their checksums are. If the DB were kept updated via something like inotify, it would be an especially nice way to quickly find a file with the right size+mtime+checksum (or user-selected attributes). For those without inotify, an upgrade script could be run, perhaps right before the transfer. Or perhaps rsync could leverage one of the existing file-monitoring packages -- does something like beagle keep track of the file's checksum? ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
