rsync - Dec 2010 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 7870] New: --link-dest=${SRC} ${SRC} ${DST} can be smarter

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7870

           Summary: --link-dest=${SRC} ${SRC} ${DST} can be smarter
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.7
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: weerd+rsync at weirdnet.nl
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


When using the --link-dest= option and the link destination is the same as the
source, rsync should skip the comparison step and just link all regular files
and create other filetypes (directories, device nodes, etc).

Hi.

I filed bug 8712 as I was not sure if my situation there is the same as you are
describing here.  Could you take a look at 8712 and see if that describes what
you are referring to?
