- - Added the --delete-during (--del) option which will delete files
- from on the receiving side incrementally as each directory in the
- transfer is being processed (which makes it more efficient than
- the default, before-the-transfer behavior of --delete).
-
- - Added the --filter (-f) option and its helper option, -F. Filter
- rules are an extension to the existing include/exclude handling
- that also supports nested filter files as well as per-directory
- filter files (like .cvsignore, but with full filter-rule parsing).
- This new option was chosen in order to ensure that all existing
- include/exclude processing remained 100% compatible with older
- versions.
