rsync - Dec 2013 - [Bug 10354] New: link-by-hash-autodir - use an automatically determined directory to collect the hash-hardlinks

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10354

           Summary: link-by-hash-autodir - use an automatically determined
                    directory to collect the hash-hardlinks
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: jimklimov at gmail.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


The current link-by-hash functionality requires a DIR argument to specify the
directory which would contain the hash hardlinks. I propose adding an option
that would automatically determine the directory, to ease automation of this
feature. For example (given proper ownership and permissions), the target
filesystem's root directory (i.e. "/export/ftp") could be suffixed
with a
hardcoded value (i.e. +"/" + ".rsync-hash") and the
resulting string
"/export/ftp/.rsync-hash" would be used automatically for all files
pouring
into the "/export/ftp" filesystem (as long as the options for the
rsync process
local to this machine would include the proposed new automation option).

I see this being a script that someone wraps around rsync to automate the
adding of the option.
