Unless you suppress all output with the -q option, rsync will always
print an initial "building/receiving file list ... done" line. In my
opinion, this is a bit superfluous. When I want to see a progress
indication, I can use the --progress option. Another issue is the
3-line transfer speed and speedup factor report at the end. So every
rsync invocation produces at least four lines of output.
Attached are two patches to reduce the verbosity of rsync. The first
one removes the initial line. The second patch adds a new option
-s/--speedup to control the generation of the speedup report, which is
now disabled by default.
What do you think? Would you consider something like this for future
versions of rsync?
