Summary: Please include the --ignore-case patch by default
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: core
AssignedTo: way...@samba.org
ReportedBy: m...@haravikk.com
QAContact: rsync...@samba.org
I'm not sure why --ignore-case isn't provided as a standard flag for current
versions of rsync, but I think it should be included as it's incredibly useful,
especially since Windows and OS X systems both default to case insensitive
while Linux tends to have case-insensitive file systems a lot more often, plus
it's possible for all free to to have any combination of sensitivity and
insensitivity which can be a nightmare to manage properly.
Anyway, I'd like to recommend that --ignore-case be provided by default in a
future release. I'd even go a step further and recommend providing a soft-error
if rsync detects that it is syncing from a case sensitive system to a
case-insensitive one or vice-versa so that users are warned of any potential
issues with files or even directories that may end being overwritten, or copied
again and again.
