dit(bf(--delete-excluded)) In addition to deleting the files on the
receiving side that are not on the sending side, this tells rsync to also
the receiving filesystem. If you want to delete after transferring
then use the --delete-after switch.
+dit(bf(--ignore-errors)) Tells --delete to go ahead and delete files

dit(bf(--force)) This options tells rsync to delete directories even if
they are not empty. This applies to both the --delete option and to
cases where rsync tries to copy a normal file but the destination
transferred on the receiving side. The default behavior is to create
the temporary files in the receiving directory.
-dit(bf(--compare-dest=DIR)) This option instructs rsync to use DIR as an
-additional directory to compare destination files against when doing
-transfers. This is useful for doing transfers to a new destination while
-leaving existing files intact, and then doing a flash-cutover when all
-files have been successfully transferred (for example by moving directories
-around and removing the old directory, although this requires also doing
-the transfer with -I to avoid skipping files that haven't changed). This
-option increases the usefulness of --partial because partially transferred
-files will remain in the new temporary destination until they have a chance
-to be completed. If DIR is a relative path, it is relative to the
-destination directory.

option is useful on slow links. The compression method used is the
same method that gzip uses.
