-I've attached a context diff for some changes I made to our local copy
-a while back to add an "--ignore-case" option just for this purpose.
-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.
-
-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 it was for local use.
-
-NOTE: patch updated for latest CVS source by Wayne Davison, but UNTESTED!
