           Summary: Add option to normalize Unicode filenames
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.7
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: mike at big.faceless.org
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


This is somewhere between a bug and an enhancement. When moving files with
Unicode names between different OSes, it would make life a lot easier if there
was an option to normalize filenames to a particular unicode form on the
destination.

For example, rsyncing from OS X to Linux names the files using the OS X
standard, Normalization form D. Linux prefers Normalization form C, which means
sharing this folder via Samba results in a number of folders that can't be
accessed. Likewise when running rsync from OS X to a Windows box running
cygwin. I think the best solution to this would be something like
"--destination-charset=UTF-8-NFC", to rename the files from the source charset
to the destionation charset.
