Ah, new post-2.x… *tries*

No change, this still transfers the entire home directory.
I think it’s meant for something else (I usually do quote
whitespace and so on for remote if necessary).

>BTW, why specify '--rsh=ssh -T', what's wrong with the default?

The default can be anything, including rsh. By specifying this
always, I know that ⓐ ssh is called, ⓑ -T is passed which makes
ssh change its QoS from interactive to bulk, and ⓒ can add -4
or -6 to force the IP protocol version (I recently learnt that
Debian has a local patch to pass -4/-6 from rsync to ssh, but
Debian’s isn’t the only package I use). I always use a wrapper
around rsync calling it like this (incidentally called rcp…).
