--checksum-only option? (or equivalent)

There are 3 main syncing methods

  • no flags - (size, modtime)
  • --size-only (size)
  • --checksum (size, checksum)

Then there are the modifiers

  • --ignore-size makes all of the above skip the size check
  • --ignore-times - uploads unconditionally (no checks)

Just in case you are wondering where these flags came from - they are all from rsync

--ignore-times only works for uploads, it isn’t implemented for check.

I hope that helps!
