-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,
