But rsync solves many problems that are probably harder to solve other
ways than it is to drop in the cygwin dll. For example, it already
knows how to exclude the svn metadata when your source is a working
copy, and it always transfers to a temporary filename, renaming only
when complete so the application never sees an incomplete file. And
there is the obvious efficiency of only transferring the changes on each
run.
