Rsync can’t handle file moves.

While you can use the -u flag to only overwrite if the source is newer than the destination, AFAIK rsync can’t detect if the destination has also been altered since the last sync, so it might clobber important changes. That’s why sync tools use a metadata cache to remember last edit timestamps. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
