idea

[Michael Havens]

I don't have the technical knowledge to bring this idea into the real world
but:
What do you think about adding a tar/zip option? I like to rsync my
/Documents directory and as i was doing so this morning my pen drive ran
out of room. I only ever make minor changes to /Documents and sometimes I
forget to backup what I've changed and then forget what I've changed and so
rsync makes it simple (especially with --delete).
This is possibly beside the point: To get everything to fit on the pen
drive I discovered deleting .Trash* freed up the space. My question is why
does deleting a file move it to .Trash but not make the space available for
reuse?
