           Summary: File listed only whose attributes have changed for
                    single '-v' option
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.9
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: panyongzhi at gmail.com

I have to make rsync outputs only files whose contents have changed, not those
whose attributes have changed. I read its manpage and find one '-v' option
should be exactly what I want:

At the single -v level of verbosity, this does not mention when a file gets its
attributes changed. If you ask for an itemized list of changed attributes
(either --itemize-changes or adding "%i" to the --out-format setting), the
output (on the client) increases to mention all items that are changed in any
way.

But when experimenting, rsync still prints files which only get their
attributes changed.

$ touch a
$ rsync -av a b
sending incremental file list
a

sent 76 bytes  received 31 bytes  214.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
$ touch a
$ rsync -av a b
sending incremental file list
a

sent 76 bytes  received 31 bytes  214.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

In the second rsync command, rsync should not have printed the filename of a,
since only its modification time has changed.

I have to suppress filename output for those whose attributes have changed
only, since there are a huge amount of such information which cause my web
application very slow.
