This could turn a large sync into an aborted nightmare; I would recommend perhaps instead writing a shell script (for example) that would first do a --dry-run with --itemize-changes, parse that and present it to the user for confirmation if any file changes are detected. If the confirmation is given, re-run everything without the --dry-run, otherwise exit.
