Summary: apply the rsync comparison algorithm specially to .mov
and .mp4 files
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.2
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

These files are huge, and being able to drastically cut back on retransmission
for such files would be a really big win. Many changes to these files involve
changes to a tiny part of the file that changes in size and thus shifts the
giant media data portions to a new offset not on a block boundary.
When rsync encounters one of these files, it should checksum each atom of the
file instead of each block.
