I've read it now. - I don't really care how, but it would be a nice idea to have a possibility to trigger the --fuzzy code on a --link-dest dir.
OK, I submitted a request for enhancement to make --fuzzy --fuzzy do this: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4056
With the dirvish backup program (and similar hard-linking backup solutions) the destination directory is empty when starting the transfer...
That's a good point. Wayne's main argument against doing fuzzy matching in --*-dest directories was that it would be too slow. However, fuzzy matching on a full destination directory containing the previous snapshot takes the same amount of time as fuzzy matching on a --link-dest directory containing the previous snapshot. One might want fuzzy matching to visit some --*-dest dirs and not others. It seems that detect-renamed, if enabled, should operate on the same subset of the --*-dest dirs as fuzzy matching. Thus, maybe there should really be alternate forms of the --*-dest options (--fuzzy-*-dest) that enable both detect-renamed and fuzzy matching for that dir. Thoughts on this?
