Summary: link-by-hash no-copy initialization
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org

QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org
I have a file-server which has already received numerous backups from other
machines. I want to deduplicate existing files by the virtue of link-by-hash,
however I'd prefer not copying the data around again - instead, I want the
specified hash-directory created and used to link existing identical files into
the same inode.
Also of use would be a "relaxed" vs. "strict" mode to allow or forbid creation
of such hardlinks for files with same content and differing metadata (owner,
date, permissions, etc.)
