With all the different features people want - almost makes me wonder if
having an actual scripting language for rsync may be the best solution?



Such a solution could be much better if it were a very limited scripting language (e.g. we can't run unsafe code on the server, so perl is too powerful) and if it were really easy to understand what the scripts do. Certainly something to think about more and look into the possibilities for a future version of rsync.

Perhaps an rsync 'job' file could be used instead of everything coming from command line switches and separate file lists. Kind of like rsyncd.conf but not for server mode. A typical config style layout where multiline include and exclude list can be placed along with all other options.

'rsync --job-file ~/update_stuff'
