[Bug 1353792] [NEW] Detect renamed files and handle by renaming instead of delete/re-send
Public bug reported:
There has been a report in rsync[0] about this issue since 2005, some
patches has been developed detect-renamed[1] and detect-renamed-lax[2]
to target the issue, I think it would be great if Ubuntu could patch
itself rsync to provide such feature.
I've updated those[3] patches[4] to apply to the latest rsync package
(3.1.1) and they're working great in my own setup, I also put them in a
ppa[5] for further testing. The patches aren't intrusive, they provide
some extra flags (--detect-renamed, --detec-moved and --detect-renamed-
lax) so I think it shouldn't be disastrous for those who won't use the
extra features.
