I'm sorry I didn't reply to your post 2 weeks ago. I saved it intending
to get back to it and didn't make it.
Someone posted a similar patch back in February and Tridge and I were both
pretty opposed to it. See the thread beginning at
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2000-February/001787.html
I have run into several situations where system administrators have used an
option to preserve access times at the expense of inode change times and it
has interfered with what I wanted to do or find out. I think inode change
times are much more valuable than access times.
