- - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
- use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
-
- - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
- that it copies identical files.
-
- - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or
- --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the
- patches dir)
+ - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+ that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+ files).
