Moving files between dirs / remove-sent

[rsync at hot.ping.de]

Hello again, 

I'm just starting a huge rsync-projevt and it seems to get even more
complex and syncing lots of MBs each day... 

My customer scans images, and puts them into "dir a".
Someone else checks the pictures and puts them into "dir b".
Next steps are removing optical errors, keywording, renaming and so
the files get moved from one dir to another with only some file
manipulations. Okay, maybe some files get compressed in another jpeg
quality compared to the previous file, but this should be a minor
procedure. 

Fuzzy won't actually work. How about "compare-dest", works it recursive over 
the given directory, can compare-dest and destination be the same? 

Maybe the detect-renamed patch will do it for one of the steps? Anyone 
tested it? 

And last not least, for me it really seems that remove-sent deletes the 
source files AFTER the whole transfer in every case. I watched huge 
rsync-transfers running over hours and not one file get deleted on the 
source. Can that be a bug? 

Wayne, you told me about deleting after the senders get something like an 
ACK from the receiver, works this really DURING the transfer? 

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
