We require an option that forces rsync to truncate the destination file to zero
bytes, using the existing inode, before copying (non-atomic).
For various important reasons, we cannot use ?inplace as an option due to the
way the filesystem we use handles a retrieve from tape.
Using ?temp-dir as an option does provide us with the functionality we require,
however it has obvious downsides of doubling I/O for no good reason.
Am I missing something obvious? Or should I add this as a feature request?
Cheers
