a limitation in the rsync protocol), so omit this option if you want to

dit(bf(-I, --ignore-times)) Normally rsync will skip any files that are
already the same size and have the same modification time-stamp.
dit(bf(--ignore-existing)) This tells rsync to skip updating files that
already exist on the destination (this does em(not) ignore existing
-directores, or nothing would get done). See also bf(--existing).
+directories, or nothing would get done). See also bf(--existing).
dit(bf(--remove-source-files)) This tells rsync to remove from the sending
side the files (meaning non-directories) that are a part of the transfer
One tricky example is to set a different default directory on the remote
machine for use with the bf(--relative) option. For instance:
-quote(tt( rsync -avR --rsync-path="cd /a/b && rsync" hst:c/d /e/))
+quote(tt( rsync -avR --rsync-path="cd /a/b && rsync" host:c/d /e/))
dit(bf(-C, --cvs-exclude)) This is a useful shorthand for excluding a
broad range of files that you often don't want to transfer between
bf(--partial-dir) option, that directory will be used instead. See the
comments in the bf(--partial-dir) section for a discussion of how this
".~tmp~" dir will be excluded from the transfer, and what you can do if
-you wnat rsync to cleanup old ".~tmp~" dirs that might be lying around.
