** Also affects: rsync via https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2294 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsync in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1353792 Title: Detect renamed files and handle by renaming instead of delete/re-send Status in rsync: Unknown Status in rsync package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: There has been a report in rsync[0] about this issue since 2005, some patches has been developed detect-renamed[1] and detect-renamed-lax[2] to target the issue, I think it would be great if Ubuntu could patch itself rsync to provide such feature. I've updated those[3] patches[4] to apply to the latest rsync package (3.1.1) and they're working great in my own setup, I also put them in a ppa[5] for further testing. The patches aren't intrusive, they provide some extra flags (--detect-renamed, --detec-moved and --detect-renamed-lax) so I think it shouldn't be disastrous for those who won't use the extra features.
