sorry to step in so late, but I have another question on this very topic.
I have noticed that if I just _change_ the name of a folder, rsync
doesn't realizes it. That is, if folder holidays_2013 contains, say,
1000 pictures of 10 MB each, I rsync it to a remote computer and then
change its name locally to family_holidays_2013, on the next run
rsync:
- deletes the remote holidays_2013 and all its content
- creates a remote family_holidays_2013
- uploads again to it ALL the 1000 pictures of 10 MB each
even if all the "rsyncing" needed would be something equivalent to "mv
holidays_2013 family_holidays_2013" on the remote server. Is it
possible to tell rsync to behave in that way? I think not, but I'd
like to be proven wrong on this.
TIA,
Marco
