Hi,
I couldn't figure out how to get rsync 2.4.6 to do this, so I added a
--ignore-existing option that ignores existing files on the destination
system (patch attached with this mail). It would be helpful to know if
there's a canonical way of doing this (ie. without having to patch rsync).
best,
vipul.
