This could probably be implemented as a popt alias rather than in the rsync
program itself. Some specific comments:
(In reply to comment #0)
* Maybe it should also ignore files whose times differ by exactly 3600 or
3601
seconds too. This would help when rsyncing files created near the time of the
daylight savings time switchover.
That is a hack.
* Ignore ownership, hard links, symlinks, etc. This will reduce useless
errors shown. Also it will prevent rsync returning an error exit code when
nothing bad actually happened.
Realize that the default is to ignore all of those things, so their inclusion
in --fat would be useful only to override -a. Some people seem to get in the
habit of using -a all the time regardless of whether they really want the
options it contains.
I'm not interested in having --fat in the main version of rsync, but the
decision is Wayne's.
