Hum, I am not sure this is the right way to fix this. When it was
introduced, I thought the --cvs-exclude option was only ignoring things
like CVS/ directories, .svn/ directories or .git/ directories. But now
that I read the rsync man page, I see that it excludes a huge number of
other file name patterns, which I think isn't desirable.

So rather than providing a way for the user to override the rsync
command, I'd prefer the rsync command to behave appropriately. I
believe it should simply copy /everything/, including version control
directories. Yes that's longer, but there's no reasonable generic way
to determine which files should be copied and which files should not.

Best regards,

Thomas
