Hi,
I'm seeing a weird problem with rsync 2.6.9 protocol version 29 on
Debian Sarge. When copying a file from one location to another between
two Debian boxes, if destination includes a file with same size and
name, rsync fails to see that they are not exactly the same file.
The situation origina

It would be great if 'rsync -t' also set atime not just mtime -- or maybe a
new option is desired for atime.
