1 | Greetings, and thanks for all of your work on the wonderful rsync! |
2 | ||
3 | I recently had the need to transfer files only with different mod | |
4 | dates (and to *not* transfer them based on file size differences). | |
5 | This is because I'm backing up files remotely on an untrusted machine, | |
6 | so I'm encrypting them with gpg before transfer. I discovered that | |
7 | rsync didn't already have a --date-only flag, so I added one and am | |
8 | enclosing the diffs in case you (as I hope) decide to include this | |
9 | option in future releases. | |
10 | ||
11 | Again, thanks! | |
12 | ||
13 | Best Regards, | |

87 | +dit(bf(--date-only)) Normally rsync will skip any files that are |
