Any chance we could do that kind of change on a Friday night instead? That way, I can abuse my DSL line all weekend while the bandwidth isn't being counted. I already doubled my 'peak hours' allowance for last month when everything from Fedora/RPMS/ moved up a directory and spent all day copying on a Monday -- I'd rather not have it happen again. Obviously I could handle this manually for myself, but I suspect I'm far from the only one mirroring the tree for whom weekend bandwidth is cheaper than weekdays...
Last time Jesse did some major adjustments on the directory layout on the server (one year ago iirc -- can remember what the reasons was) the files were hardlinked into the new place and deleted one or two weeks later in the old place; someone that regularly rsyncs with the proper parameters doesn't have to download everything anew that way iirc. Isn't this a option this time? Or am I missing something?
