Yeah, that's one of the things I put into my rZync new-protocol prototype I implemented a while back (which I have sadly neglected). It is not something that would fit well with the current rsync implementation, though, due to fact that the receiving side does not scan the destination files prior to receiving the list. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
