rsync - Jan 2011 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 2294] Detect renamed files and handle by renaming instead of delete/re-send

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2294

Hi, I was about to enter a similar suggestion to this.  My very frequent use
case is moving files from one directory to another.  In that situation the file
name does not change--just the directory path leading to it.  These are often
quite large files (0.2 to several GB) so avoiding re-copying them would speed
things up a lot. 

Thanks

Hi Paul,
As mentionned previously, two patches have been developped (detect-renamed.diff
et detect-renamed-lax.diff) 
http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=rsync-patches.git;a=blob;f=detect-renamed.diff;h=5ba95b4eb1b5d0f79cd22719d56fdea72590f87f;hb=HEAD
http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=rsync-patches.git;a=blob;f=detect-renamed-lax.diff;h=4cd23bd4524662f1d0db0bcc90336a77d0bb61c9;hb=HEAD

If you want to use these patch on mac OSX, you will find hints here :

How to apply those 2 detect-renamed* patches? I did
git clone git://git.samba.org/rsync.git
and tried to
patch -p1 <patches/detect-renamed.diff
but that doesn't succeed. Which version would I need to check out to get the
patches applied? Sorry, I don't know git.

you don't need git to get the sources : http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/
and choose "rsync-3.0.7.tar.gz" and
"rsync-patches-3.0.7.tar.gz"

Damn, that was too easy ;-) Thanks a lot. I'll test the new detect-renamed*
patches now.
