Well, you're right, but that ain't the main reason I set it up like that. If
you - like me - do more than just smoking, there are some files hanging around
that I do *not* want deleted. I'm - for example - working on a patch to fix a
format bug, and those files are called toke-new.c and such. rsync --delete
would destroy my efforts.
What the original script, posted a few month back, did, was rsync --delete
--dry-run, and collect the output and filter it so that only stuff that I was
sure about, was deleted.
