Am I overlooking something obvious, or is there really no way to specify an output format for '--list-only' or 'rsync -a [SOURCE]'?
Tried '--out-format=%n' and '--log-file-format=%n' (just in case), but neither had any effect. Noticing '-i'/'--itemize-changes' lead to what I'm using for now: rsync --dry-run --out-format=%n -i -a [SOURCE] /nonexistent/path/ But, it strikes me as odd that there's no way to change what the 'man' page refers to as 'an output format similar to "ls -l"' when other output formats are so readily customized. In case anyone's curious or another method's better, the goal is to use multiple '--exclude-from=FILE' files, but to do something other than 'rsync' with the list of files that would be generated by 'rsync'.
