Are there plans to implement fuzzy match or similar algorithms to
match files moved/renamed files?
In the last few years there have not been any updates, not even the
usual security and portability nits.
What I would like to suggest is:
in case of discovering new file, calculate checksum, check if the
checksum exists already in destination folder (under any subfolder):
a) if the file does exist in destination folder (different file
name/path) and the file name/path does not exist anymore in the
source, simply rename/move file
You may want to look at bup or attic, or similar tools.
If anyone is actually working on rdiff-backup, I'm sure most readers of
this list would appreciate a "note from the maintainer" describing
status.
