For what it's worth disconnect is an optional operation.  You did
not need to implement it if you don't allocate a data member in
the struct transport.  So removing disconnect_rsync() could save
you 6 lines or so.

I see push is now supported again.  Didn't we remove rsync push
support a long time ago?  Like say in:

  commit c485104741ccdf32dd0c96fcb886c38a0b5badbd
  Author: c.shoemaker@cox.net <c.shoemaker@cox.net>

    Add usage help to git-push.sh
    
    Also clarify failure to push to read-only remote.  Especially,
    state why rsync:// is not used for pushing.
    
    [jc: ideally rsync should not be used for anything]

I guess it is nice to see that you can't kill rsync.  Like Windows
it always finds it way back into your life.
