Would this patch be useful...
...-interface. I was thinking about two command line options,
--dont-compress and --dont-compress-from.
This is what it would look like:
rsync -z --dont-compress="*.mp3 *.gz ....."
However, since this list could be very long, you would also have:
rsync -z --dont-compress-from=/etc/rsync/already_compressed.txt
where the already_compressed.txt would have a list of extensions not to compress.
Another option, is to have --dont-compress and --dont-compress-from use
rsync's Exclude Patterns, but I have not studied this code and do not
know how much harder this would be to implement.
Any thought?...
