New feature: detect and avoid transfering renamed files
...s device and
inode number.
I have attached a patch for a proof of concept of this feature. With it,
I can start with this directory structure on the sender side:
testfiles/
testfiles/one
testfiles/two
...and rsync it to the destination. On the destination there is an extra
directory called "byinode" which contains hard links to both regular files.
Then I rename testfiles/one to testfiles/oneone . When I rsync again,
instead of deleting the file called "one" and transfering the full contents
of an apparently new file called "oneone", the file "one" is delete...
