           Summary: Request: timestamps in --log-format
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.7
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: yair.lenga at citigroup.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


It will be very helpful to have the ability to include information about the
modification time of the files. This will help in (1) creating customized
update file list (for --files-from) (2) for logging. Something like '%M'. Any
datetime format will work (either the Unix, or the standard YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS).

The problem that I'm trying to address is the maintainance of a backup site in
a high-traffic environment. The update should handle high priority files first
(priority is based on file age (recent changes first), file size (small changes
first), and file name/type (for example: PDF files last).

If the information about the source files is available, one can use "rsync -n"
to get the list of files, implement a custom sort/filter, and feed the list to
rsync --from-file session.

Extra points for showing the comparable time on the recieving side (if the file
exists), and for option to show the file owner (id/name)
