[wplug] rsync question

Whenever I use rsync by hand from the command line, as opposed to in a
script that's already been debugged, I haved learned from sad
experience to always run it first with the "-n" option. That shows
what files would be transferred and deleted without actually doing it.
If that looks OK, I just remove the -n and re-execute it. This has
saved my bacon a number of times. It's also a good way to fine-tune
the use of the --exclude option.
Sorry if this was covered in an earlier message; I was just skimming
this thread and might have missed it.
