This would be useful for me as well. I have an application where a
subset of the data needs to be updated quarterly. These files are
mixed throughout the directory structure, making an include/exclude
type of list, rather messy to generate automatically.
It would be very nice to have a mode where I can supply a list of
files to be rsync'd. Plain and simple.
