Hello everybody,

I have a question. Sorry if it's been asked before, couldn't find it the
archives.


Is it possible to tell rsync to use multiple source trees with a given
priority for colliding files?


I imagine having a list of products for each workstation, and say "use xyz
as base tree, and the products a,b,c may substitute files if necessary". 
I know that that's normally no problem in *nix as there won't be any
colliding files; but even without them I don't want to say "synchronize
with this tree, delete files if necessary" followed by "synchronize with
this' product tree" as this would result in a lot of traffic.


I know that this could be done via linux and a per-process-filesystem using
"mount --bind" which is created on ssh-logon. But that seems too
complicated to me, especially if there is a lot of machine wanting to resync


Colliding files would often be the case in a win32-port (mfc*.dll).

So, is there a solution?


Regards,

Phil
