Fix alignment issue on 64-bit. Solution from Steve Ortiz.

[rsync/rsync-patches.git] / detect-renamed.diff

This patch adds the --detect-renamed option which makes rsync notice files
that either (1) match in size & modify-time (plus the basename, if possible)
or (2) match in size & checksum (when --checksum was also specified) and use
each match as an alternate basis file to speed up the transfer.

The algorithm attempts to scan the receiving-side's files in an efficient
manner.  If --delete[-before] is enabled, we'll take advantage of the
pre-transfer delete pass to prepare any alternate-basis-file matches we
might find.  If --delete-before is not enabled, rsync does the rename scan
during the regular file-sending scan (scanning each directory right before
the generator starts updating files from that dir).  In this latter mode,
rsync might delay the updating of a file (if no alternate-basis match was
yet found) until the full scan of the receiving side is complete, at which
point any delayed files are processed.

I chose to hard-link the alternate-basis files into a ".~tmp~" subdir that
takes advantage of rsync's pre-existing partial-dir logic.  This uses less
memory than trying to keep track of the matches internally, and also allows
any deletions or file-updates to occur normally without interfering with
these alternate-basis discoveries.

To use this patch, run these commands for a successful build:

    patch -p1 <patches/detect-renamed.diff
    ./configure                                 (optional if already run)
    make

TODO:

  We need to never return a match from fattr_find() that has a basis
  file.  This will ensure that we don't try to give a renamed file to
  a file that can't use it, while missing out on giving it to a file
  that could use it.

+dit(bf(--detect-renamed)) With this option, for each new source file
+(call it em(src/S)), rsync looks for a file em(dest/D) anywhere in the
+destination that passes the quick check with em(src/S).  If such a em(dest/D)
+is found, rsync uses it as an alternate basis for transferring em(S).  The
+idea is that if em(src/S) was renamed from em(src/D) (as opposed to em(src/S)
+passing the quick check with em(dest/D) by coincidence), the delta-transfer
+algorithm will find that all the data matches between em(src/S) and em(dest/D),
+and the transfer will be really fast.
+
+By default, alternate-basis files are hard-linked into a directory named
+".~tmp~" in each file's destination directory, but if you've specified
+the bf(--partial-dir) option, that directory will be used instead.  These
+potential alternate-basis files will be removed as the transfer progresses.
+This option conflicts with bf(--inplace) and bf(--append).

 dit(bf(--compare-dest=DIR)) This option instructs rsync to use em(DIR) on
