An additional frob worth noting is that this isn't _quite_ as
simple as you might hope; as explained in the rsync man page, the
matching of files against include/exclude patterns is tried with
each directory prefix leading up to the path, which means to sync
the file a/b/c you need to include (in .filelist, in the above
example):
a/
a/b/
a/b/c
The attached perl script will take a list of files and fill in the
needed parent directories.
