rsync - Apr 2004 - How to:- copy only files less / greater than X size / date?

Hi there,

I think the subject pretty much says it all...  Is this possible?

I've got a couple of sites, where it would be very useful to only rsync 
files from the source if they are newer than a certain date, and similarly 
it would also be useful to only rsync certain files if they where less than 
a certain size...

Is this possible?  I've hunted around, and I did find an old posting 
pointing to an old option which doesn't appear to exist anymore.

While I'm at it...
Is it possible to do something like:-

rsync source/ current/ diff/

where source is the source location, the current is the current set of 
files on the destination, and the diff, is where the differences of the 
files that would be placed in current end up...  (ie: instead of putting 
them in current from the source, they're placed in diff)

Is it possible?

Thanks,

find paths -options -print |rsync -options -files-from=- source 
destination
The second one could easily be done with a --dry-run, preprocessing the 
output, and driving a --files-from= rsync with that list.
