- Subject: change in rsync behaviour -- textmode problem?
Every month or so I rsync a from a large HTML-structured mail archive
(UN*X resident) to my PC. Up until a few months ago, this worked as
expected, with only new files getting copied. More recently (no,
sorry, I can't be more precise), I started getting everything every
time.
The target location on my PC is under a textmode mount (this hasn't
changed).
If I change and rsync to a location on a binmode mount, it only
fetches once (correctly).
Is this a bug or a feature, and if the former is it already known?

Sorry if this is an FAQ, Google didn't find anything for the terms I
tried. . .
