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