Great. That's exactly the sort of answer I wanted. I'll try it tonight.
(BTW, I guess maybe it got lost since I was trying to be very
explicit in my example, but yeah, I know that I shouldn't use the
dest dir as a link src dir --- I would never even have thought that
made sense, but I guess maybe someone somewhere has misunderstood
things and tried that.)
The only thing left is, as I said, to give an example in the man page
--- I trust you'll agree that it's not obvious that this is the
correct syntax.
(And while I'm in the mood, it would be nice for the man page to
clarify exactly what "fuzzy match" matches, and what it costs. My
guess is that the important case it matches is a file that is
renamed, that it operates through the construction of a hash table
based on file-size/mod-date per directory, that the table is created
on entry to a directory and destroyed when we move on to the next
directory, and that assuming you have the RAM and CPU (ie you are
throttled by your disks and/or network) it costs pretty much nothing,
certainly no extra stat's or anything like that. But it would be nice
to have documentation that made it clear if these are all the case.)
Thanks,
Maynard
