           Summary: --copy-dest copies should use a temporary file unless --
                    inplace
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: matt at mattmccutchen.net
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Currently, --copy-dest local copies use copy_file(), which writes the
destination file at its final name.  I think these copies should use a
temporary file unless --inplace is given, just like ordinary file transfers. 
Users who have a program that watches the destination and processes
non-temporary files when they appear will appreciate this.
