Wayne Davison <wa...@opencoder.net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |FIXED Status|ASSIGNED |RESOLVED Version|3.1.3 |3.2.0 --- Comment #9 from Wayne Davison <wa...@opencoder.net> --- Yes, an absolute-path partial dir is not removed by rsync. I'll add a mention of that to the manpage. I'm committing the simple version of the patch. Thanks for checking it out! As to the question about which basis file is better to use when a partial file exists, that is indeed a hard one to answer since it depends a lot on how much of a transfer completed and how much matching data exists in each file. So far I've left it up to the user to remove a partial file that would make their transfer worse off, but it might be possible to come up with a simple heuristic when creating the partial file to guess if we think we should save it or not -- something based on the partial file size vs final file size and also how much of its data was copied literally vs copied from the current basis file. That seems like it would be pretty useful to me, especially if it erred on the side of only removing the partial file if it was very clear it was not going to be useful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
