Hi,

I just sent a subscribe mail to listproc and I don't know if I'm added yet.

I have an idea of a new switch, maybe called --dont-delete

I'm running some unofficial mirrors for debian and helix-gnome.

I use the switches "-rltvz --delete --delete-excluded" together with a 
number of --include and --exclude switches.

My problem is that I touch a "lock-file" within the archive tree to prevent 
dual runs and to inform users that a update is running.

The problems is that my "lock-file" is removed together with all other 
obsolete files at the beginning if the rsync-session. My script gets 
confused when it is no lock-file to delete afterwards.

I guess that the problem is the --delete--excluded which would clean out 
all excluded files and all non existing files on the master site.

I would like to have a new switch that tells rsync to not delete some files 
even if they don't exist on the master site.
