rsync - Sep 2009 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 6747] New: rsync recopies files with diacritics in the file names.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6747

           Summary: rsync recopies files with diacritics in the file names.
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.5
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: mmcmonster at gmail.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


I am using the following command in the mac terminal to copy files from an ext3
linux computer (Ubuntu 9.04) to my Mac:

rsync -rptuv --delete --progress
myusername at mydesktopcomputer.homeip.net:/home/myusername/Music/English/
/Users/myusername/Music/Music/

Both apparently running rsync 3.05)

The problem is that if the file name contains a diacritic (such as "Sin?ad
O'Connor" or "D?j? Vu", the file gets deleted and recopied,
even if the file
hasn't changed. (If I run the rsync command twice in a row, the file gets
deleted and copied twice ina row.)

Note that the rest of my library gets ignored, appropriately, since it
hasn't
changed.

This is the result of an obnoxious behavior of the Mac filesystem.  See this
FAQ entry for an explanation and a workaround:
