It's not needed. No option name ends in "/", so the function can scan
all the args without understanding them.
If you use zsh or bash, you could put something like this into your rc:
function rsync {
local cmd=''
for arg in "$@"; do
case "$arg" in
*\'*)
echo "Args may not contain embedded single quotes!"
return 1
;;
*/)
arg=${arg/%\//}
;;
esac
cmd="$cmd '$arg'"
done
eval "/usr/bin/rsync $cmd"
}
That's a quick hack, though -- the "eval" idiom can probably be done
better.
