Is there a way that rsync will find different case files in destination and will update the filename without copying the whole file? Kind of a special case of the "find existing" patch. This is something that might be useful even on case-sensitive filesystems as on linux. As only the case has changed it may be a lot easier to implement than a full search for the file. bye Fabi -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
