           Summary: link-by-hash-autodir - use an automatically determined
                    directory to collect the hash-hardlinks
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: jimklimov at gmail.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


The current link-by-hash functionality requires a DIR argument to specify the
directory which would contain the hash hardlinks. I propose adding an option
that would automatically determine the directory, to ease automation of this
feature. For example (given proper ownership and permissions), the target
filesystem's root directory (i.e. "/export/ftp") could be suffixed with a
hardcoded value (i.e. +"/" + ".rsync-hash") and the resulting string
"/export/ftp/.rsync-hash" would be used automatically for all files pouring
into the "/export/ftp" filesystem (as long as the options for the rsync process
local to this machine would include the proposed new automation option).
