Rsync has a few options for deleting files. But I was curious if you are 
able to tell rsync to not delete specific files/dirs while not excluding 
them all together.

ie:

/c/windows/

I have rsync, update that directory, and delete any files that aren't 
supposed to be there. Could I have rsync update that directory, but _not_ 
delete files specifically in that directory that aren't on the server side? 
(I guess like a --delete-exclude=PATTERN command line option) Basically to 
allow for extra drivers to be installed in windows and not have rsync 
delete them. (I use windows as an example, but it really makes no 
difference of course).

I suppose I could run rsync twice, first excluding /c/windows all together, 
with delete enabled, then run it a second time only synchronizing 
/c/windows and turn delete off entirely. Always that way around things if 
it comes to that.

        Thanks.
