--compare-dest -- copy ONLY files with content-differences between 2 directories... to a third
Hi,
I'm having trouble with --compare-dest, to copy only files that differ in
content.
Here are the commands used thusfar:
rsync -av --checksum --delete --progress --stats --compare-dest=../old
new/ new_archive
rsync -av --checksum --delete --progress --stats --compare-dest=../new
old/ old_archive
old/
a.txt
new/
a.txt

a.txt contains just 2 characters: 'a' and '\n'
Now the problem: In the output I see a.txt...
