boundaries when recursing. This is useful for transferring the
contents of only one filesystem.
+dit(bf(-x, --one-file-system)) This tells rsync to avoid recursing into a
+directory that is the mount-point for another filesystem, including (as of
+2.6.7), "bind" mount-points. You can still copy the contents of multiple
+file systems if you include a source dir from each file system -- this just
+limits rsync's directory-recursion algorithm.
+
+Rsync will copy the directory at each encountered mount-point unless this
+option is repeated. Note, however, that the attributes of this mount-point
+directory are copied from those currently visible in the filesystem, not
+the inaccessible attributes of the underlying directory.
+
+This option does not affect the "collapsing" of symlinks that options such
+as bf(--copy-links) perform, irrespective of what filesystem the symlink's
+referent may be on.

dit(bf(--existing, --ignore-non-existing)) This tells rsync to skip
updating files that do not exist yet on the destination. If this option is
combined with the bf(--ignore-existing) option, no files will be updated
dit(bf(-i, --itemize-changes)) Requests a simple itemized list of the
changes that are being made to each file, including attribute changes.
This is exactly the same as specifying bf(--log-format='%i %n%L').
+If you repeat the option, unchanged files will also be output, but only
+if the receiving rsync is at least version 2.6.7 (you can use bf(-vv)
+with older versions of rsync, but that also turns on the output of other
+verbose messages).
The "%i" escape has a cryptic output that is 9 letters long. The general
format is like the string bf(UXcstpoga)), where bf(U) is replaced by the

can actually be any portion of a path from the starting directory on
down.)

Note that, when using the bf(--recursive) (bf(-r)) option (which is implied by
