-dit(bf(--compare-dest=DIR)) This option instructs rsync to use DIR as an
-additional directory to compare destination files against when doing
-transfers.  This is useful for doing transfers to a new destination while
-leaving existing files intact, and then doing a flash-cutover when all
-files have been successfully transferred (for example by moving directories
-around and removing the old directory, although this requires also doing
-the transfer with -I to avoid skipping files that haven't changed).  This
-option increases the usefulness of --partial because partially transferred
-files will remain in the new temporary destination until they have a chance
-to be completed.  If DIR is a relative path, it is relative to the
-destination directory.
