------- Comment #6 from boris@folgmann.de  2007-07-11 09:50 CST -------
I'm using rsync 2.6.9 to archive rotated log files to another machine, like
Bill wrote. I tried 

rsync -avzh --partial --fuzzy src dest

and

rsync -avzh --partial --delete --fuzzy --delete-after src dest

but both calls always copy all renamed/rotated log files. And of course the
files are still in the same directory after being rotated! The logs are very
large (several gigs) so it takes too long to be a valuable solution.
Is the patch not included in 2.6.9 or did I miss something?
Add-on question: does rsync switch off -z for .gz files in the affected
directory? I think that would be a good idea.
