Hello,
I heard recently about the detect-renamed patch for rsync. I was about
to code something similar, I need it badly, but decided to give the
patch a try first. It seems to work well but it's rename detection
scheme seems to be limited. From my tests, it seems to detect that a
file has changed name only if the file remains in the same base dir. It
detects that a file has moved from one dir to another only if it keeps
the same name.
I was wondering who is/are the author(s) of the patch (it's not written
in the patch file) as I'd like to discuss with them about possible
enhancement.
Thank you,
Charles Perreault
