There is no such thing.  Since rsync is duplicating the sender's
files, there is only a list of the sender's files in memory except for
some single-directory scanning that the receiving side does.

See the various detect-rename patches for rsync for how to find files
that have moved around.  The patches are mentioned on the download
page of the rsync website.
