Title:
  Detect renamed files and handle by renaming instead of delete/re-send

Status in “rsync” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
