This is a late reply to a thread of Tomasz Chmielewsk

He asked if some workaround existed for rename of big files.
I've made a script (python needed on both sides) that links the guessed
files in the right directory and uses the --fuzzy feature of rsync. It
is used to mirror a 100Gb archive where files are often renamed.
Maybe the algorithm could be included in the main rsync codebase. I
never understood why the --fuzzy feature was restricted to the same
directory.
