rsync - Nov 2004 - File list out of rsync.

I am trying to run rsync and produce a file list of what was done.
If I use -v I am getting informational messages like:

building file list ... done
..... file list is here
sent 292 bytes  received 24 bytes  632.00 bytes/sec
total size is 9840536  speedup is 31140.94

If I do not use -v I get nothing printed to stdout.

Is there a way of turning off the lovely informational messages that are
of no concern to me once operationa and just leaving the file list of
what was updated. I have tried a slection of -v and -q to no avail.

PS: Yes this could be done via some simply crafted tool (insert your favorite
    awk/grep/sed/head tool here) but would only be a hack and may fail on
    future releases of rsync if the format/number of lines etc changed.

... unless you use --log-format.  This causes rsync to output what files
are transferred on stdout.  You can have it output just file names using
"%f".

Alternately, you might like to prefix the name with the current date and
use a regex in a script to make extra sure that you always match a log
line (which lets you turn on other output options without affecting the
parsing of the names).  For instance:

    --log-format='%t %o %l %b %f'

Would output something like this for each name:

2004/11/15 08:19:56 send 4544 68 checksum.c

You could then have a perl script match names using this regex:

($filename) = m#^\d\d\d\d/\d\d/\d\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d \S+ \d+ \d+ (.*)#;
next unless defined $filename;
