Question on folder sync with "directory name translation"

[Joe]

I'm sure one of the experts will have a better answer, but two things 
come to mind as options to explore:
1) Use --fuzzy twice so files which are the same but possibly with 
different names and locations are synced
2) Use some sort of symlinks on the destination so the names actually 
match (these could be added and removed right before and after the rsync 
respectively if you don't want them around later.) Symlinks are tricky 
with rsync. You have to set the options right, so I'm not sure of the 
exact details.
