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! | |

| 13 | Best Regards, | |
