rsync - Apr 2005 - [Bug 2423] Feature Request: Ability to transfer files newer than date or file. (--newer switch).

I'd find this kind of feature really useful too.

I'm pushing files, but I'm using --include and --exclude patterns to
build the
list of files I want to transfer, in some cases avoiding directory recursion. --
files-from and include/exclude don't mix.

It's also really hard to avoid recursion with find, and it would be nicer to
be
able to do it all within rsync for efficiency reasons (it's already
stat()ing
files, for one.)

Perhaps something matching find's syntax for these things:

--newer file
  newer than a reference file. (perhaps also -older, as you wouldn't have 
the '! -newer' syntax of find)
--mtime n
  (if the file was modified n days ago, also +n, -n)
--ctime n
  (ditto, for inode change time)
--atime n
  (ditto, for access time)
