I've been searching and trying to find an answer but so far I've come up short...
I have my files organized as topdir/middle/hello/world/file.txt but without thinking of the consequences of my backup, I changed it to topdir/middle/goodbye/world/file.txt.
So my question is, will --track-renames realize file.txt is the same, and rename the upper directory accordingly?
Edit: I would hope it doesn't matter, but I'm using Google Drive
Seems to work:

That's on a non crypt remote though as it can compare checksums.
Excellent, exactly what I was looking for and hoping. Thank you!
