           Summary: Add a --fat option to ignore 1-second time diffs,
                    ownership, hard links, symlinks, etc.
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: jasonspiro4 at gmail.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Please add a --fat option to rsync.  This option should cause the following:

*  Rsync should ignore files whose times differ by one second
*  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.
*  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.

Please credit Kevin Kolb <http://www.sanitarium.net; email hidden to prevent

ideas above.  You can also credit me, Jason Spiro <http://www.jspiro.com>, if
you like.
