I sometimes wonder whether I should file a feature request on rsync, to make it offer a mode in which only directories in which it does something are listed on stdout. I shudder to think of the CPU cycles that are wasted daily on scrolling all those directory names up the screen during an emerge --sync. 21293 of them on this box today, altogether. -- Rgds Peter.
