I totally agree this one. With this enhancement there would be no longer
unnecessary traffic when some user has moved / copy'ed a large directory
(which
is really annoying).

This is the basic idea behind fuzzy.diff in the patches dir.  It does not
currently try to find a basis-file match based on size and mtime (just
similarity of names), but I plan to extend it with that functionality when I fix
some of the patch's other minor problems (see the patch for a list of them).

Note that the --fuzzy patch has made it into the CVS version.  It only looks for
renamed files in the same directory as the file being created, though, so it is
not a full solution to files being moved around in the hierarchy, or directory
names changing (that will require a pre-scan on the receiving side, which is not
currently done unless --delete was specified).

I'll leave this open for now as a suggestion for a more extensive rename
detector.
