1 This patch adds the options --detect-renamed-lax and --detect-moved.
2 These modify the --detect-renamed algorithm to adopt a matching file
3 without verifying that the content is as expected. The former blindly
4 accepts a file that matches in size and modified time. The latter
5 requires that the filename also match (ignoring any renamed files).
7 This patch is EXPERIMENTAL, though it did work correctly in my light
10 To use this patch, run these commands for a successful build:
12 patch -p1 <patches/detect-renamed.diff
13 patch -p1 <patches/detect-renamed-lax.diff
14 ./configure (optional if already run)
17 FIXME: If a run with --detect-renamed-lax stages a different-basename
18 destination file and then gets interrupted, a subsequent run that
19 switches to --detect-moved blindly accepts the staged file.
