Hi folks,
"--numeric-ids" is a lot of text and easy to be forgotten or
misspelled.
Since it is a highly important option for making backups of
remote systems via rsync I wonder if "-N" could be introduced
as an abbreviation for "--numeric-ids"? "-N" is not in use yet,
afaics.
Just a suggestion, of course. Keep on your good work.
Regards
Harri
