PCRE-expressions and recursive ignore patterns are possible, too.· updating from more than one URL (overlayed, like unionfs)· currently testing: automatically detecting copied/moved files· re-synchronize with the repository (for recovery)· FSVS understands some special properties for backup handling, eg. to define transparent en/decryption;Requirements:· rsync 2.6.7 and perl to run the self-test-scripts· subversion-1.4· apr libraries· PCRE (perl compatible regular expressions) libraries and header files· GDBM library and header files· gcc to compile
