File selection options

[rdurkacz]

I think rsync could use some additional options so as to allow fine-grained control in recursive mode. Of course rsync is always in recursive mode. What I mean is that I would like to use rsync in a recursive way such that rsync proceeds recursively except for certain specified sub-directories that it should avoid (per the --exclude option). The reason to avoid some subdirectories is that there would be an rsync script sitting in such a directory which is the one to be used when that directory is to be sync'd. Assuming now --delete-excuded option is normally specified, so as to get rid of stale files, then there is a problem in a script where a directory is excluded for the purposes of allowing it to updated separately, because that script would delete the directory as it would delete an out of date file. I do not want to see the options burdened to do more elaborate logic, just a way of making separate simple rsync invocations of the type described compatible.

this is all a mistake. When I find out how to delete it I will delete it.
