Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if rsync could detect a moved file.  For example, if
when downloading, there is a new file that matches the information
of an old file now gone (timestamp and/or file size, depending on the
command-line options) then rsync could just do an md5sum to see if
they're the same.  If they are the same, then just move the local file.

Doing that for all files isn't really an option, as that will consume
large amounts of memory (ideally you need to first do an md5sum of *all*
files on each end before doing any transfers, to be able to optimally
detect moved files).

In the latest 2.6.4 version there is a --fuzzy option for detecting
moved files where the name has not changed too much, perhaps that could
be enough?
