rsync with -ls option

[George.R.Goffe at seagate.com]

Dave,

Unfortunately I don't do much coding so I don't think I'm the "right" guy
for this job. I'd like to see the emails tho, MAYBE I can cook something
up. I was actually thinking about making the "report" even more sexy by
what I call the "rdiff" function. Rsync compares files now and might be
able to make pipes to diff? Of course binaries would not be eligible.

What do you think?

Regards,

George...

A long time ago somebody volunteered to improve the --log-format and -n
options to work for those kind of situations but he never did them.  So
we're waiting for a new volunteer.  If somebody else is interested in doing
them I could dig up the old emails where we discussed some of the design.
