I'm translating rsync.1, and i'm having some problems with the
--compare-dest option description, actually i dont understand the part
which describes the usefulness of this option, it says :
This is useful for doing transfers to a new destination while leaving
existing files intact, and then doing a flash-cutover when all
files have been successfully transferred (for example by moving
directories around and removing the old directory, although this
requires also doing the transfer with -I to avoid skipping files
that haven´t changed).
If someone could explain me this (especially the flash-cutover thing) ,
maybe with a little example, it would greatly help me for the translation.
Thanks in advance
Denis
