           Summary: Filenames with non-english characters are displayed as
                    '?'
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org

Dear Rsync Developers:

We use rsync to make backups. Files with special characters like german umlaute
are displayed with '?' for the special characters. We would like to have
an option for displaying the original characters because the list is
processed by other programs. I.e.: --log-characterset=full

Even better would be options for saving file names by category, i.e.:

--log-modified=file    all modified files (no dirs)
--log-deleted-files=file
--log-deleted-dirs=file

This would greatly simplify backup programs build on rsync

Best,
Peter.
