The manual page suggests that it can do most of what I want it to do
(although I don't relish rewriting all those regular expressions into
globs so that `rsync' can handle them).  rsync still doesn't have
useful gradations in verbosity, doesn't have a safety feature to limit
the scope of deletions, and doesn't deal gracefully with connections
being refused or broken and permission errors on either end.  (The
server is also an incredible memory hog, but I assume you have already
crossed that bridge.)

In short, I much prefer spegla, despite its clear quirkiness and
incomplete documentation.
