In our case it came up in the context of disting between NTFS and FAT
remote systems. I think we ended up not needing it, but it does make
rsync match filenames in a case insensitive manner, so it might at
-least be worth trying to see if it resolves your issue. [NOTE: patch
-updated for latest CVS source way Wayne Davison, but UNTESTED!]
+least be worth trying to see if it resolves your issue.
A few caveats - both ends have to support the option - I couldn't make
it backwards compatible because both ends exchange information about a
sorted file list that has to sort the same way on either side (which
very subtly bit me when I first did this). I also didn't bump the
protocol in this patch (wasn't quite sure it was appropriate just for an
-incompatible command line option) since since it was for local use.
+incompatible command line option) since it was for local use.
-The patch is based on a 2.4.x series rsync, but if it doesn't apply
-cleanly to 2.5.x, it's should be simple enough to just apply manually.
