CommitLineData
1This patch adds the --detect-renamed option which makes rsync notice files
2that either (1) match in size & modify-time (plus the basename, if possible)
3or (2) match in size & checksum (when --checksum was also specified) and use
4each match as an alternate basis file to speed up the transfer.
5
6The algorithm attempts to scan the receiving-side's files in an efficient
7manner. If --delete[-before] is enabled, we'll take advantage of the
8pre-transfer delete pass to prepare any alternate-basis-file matches we
9might find. If --delete-before is not enabled, rsync does the rename scan
10during the regular file-sending scan (scanning each directory right before
11the generator starts updating files from that dir). In this latter mode,
12rsync might delay the updating of a file (if no alternate-basis match was
13yet found) until the full scan of the receiving side is complete, at which
14point any delayed files are processed.
15
16I chose to hard-link the alternate-basis files into a ".~tmp~" subdir that
17takes advantage of rsync's pre-existing partial-dir logic. This uses less
18memory than trying to keep track of the matches internally, and also allows
19any deletions or file-updates to occur normally without interfering with
20these alternate-basis discoveries.
21
22To use this patch, run these commands for a successful build:
23
24 patch -p1 <patches/detect-renamed.diff
25 ./configure (optional if already run)
26 make
27
28TODO:
29
30 We need to never return a match from fattr_find() that has a basis
31 file. This will ensure that we don't try to give a renamed file to
32 a file that can't use it, while missing out on giving it to a file
33 that could use it.
