rsync - Mar 2006 - detect-renamed dosn't work?!

Hi lhere, 

i'm trying the detect-renamed patch in 2.6.7pre2 in a really small
scenario. Having two dirs with some files rsyncing to destination. 

First I have no delete switches on, at least I will need them.
Heres the command I use:
rsync -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/srv-key" -r -p -o -g -v -z -l -t 
 --detect-renamed --stats /root/test/ srv:/root/test --progress    (--fuzzy) 

When I rename a file in one dir it will completly transfered, until I make 
use of the --fuzzy switch, that will get it working. 

I had no luck in all my tries moving a file from the first to the parent or 
second dir, leaving the filename and then rsyncing without the need of a 
full transfer. Here --fuzzy will fail of course. 

I do not use --partial, but tried it also with giving a --partial-dir for 
the hard-links. 

At least I have to use some --delete option to keep the destination clean. 
Will --delete-before work due to hard-linking needed file for the 
 --detect-renamed option? 

What's wrong? 

Thanks in advance,
Daniel Laffien

The way to notice if rsync made use of a renamed file is by looking at
the matched data vs the literal data in the --stats output.  Rsync will
always output that it's creating the missing file, but it will do it
using local (matched) data if it can.  Some items to check:

 - Make sure that the renamed file is identical to a file in the new
   transfer.  Without --checksum, it has to match in size and modify-
   time.  With --checksum, it has to match in size and checksum.
   
 - Make sure that the renamed file is in the transfer hierarchy.  Rsync
   will not search the whole filesystem looking for renamed files, just
   the directories that were specified in the transfer and any extra
   directories on the receiving side that are subdirectories of dirs in
   the transfer.

Yes, --detect-renamed works with all the --delete options (unlike
--fuzzy, which only works with --delete-after).
