Rsync has no memory of what other instances of rsync have done in the
past. An existing file with a different name is of no interest to it
unless --delete in which case it would be deleted. Maybe what you
really want is --partial-dir?

I'm suggesting a partial file that isn't hidden is worse.
Because any other app looking at the file would think the transfer is
complete and try to use it.
It doesn't need to be a orphaned file, when called next time with
--partial rsync could re-opened the incomplete/hidden file, than it
could continue putting more bytes to the file until it was really
completed.
When running in --partial mode, the filename wouldn't have to be random,
instead it could be based on the source ip address, so that rsync knows
what file to continue processing on.

That is what --partial does. It keeps the partial file. If it kept the
temporary file with the random file name that would just be a useless
orphaned file.

run rsync with --progress --size-only --partial (version 3.1.2) also
tested/built current master ( 3.3.0pre1-5-g6f3c5ecc )
everything works fine unless I interrupt a transfer ( ctrl c )
I would expect to see the incomplete, temporary, hidden file present on
the remote machine.
So that when I call rsync again, it could just pick up where it left off
and continue transferring data.
But instead there is no hidden file, and the partial/incomplete file
exists, as the actual filename.
This is bad, because any code that is expecting existing non-hidden
files to be complete will have issues.
I apologize if I've missed the command line options I'm looking for
Thanks for maintaining a critical piece of software!
