    From the first script I ever wrote using rsync...   
   # set -x   
   #   
   #  Basic command:  rsync SOURCE DESTINATION   
   #   
   #  The trickery is that using:   
   #  rsync -lotsofneatoptions gargle /run/media/somemoron/   
   #  Will either update the gargle directory on /run/media/somemoron,   
   #  or just create the directory there and copy files.  Notice the   
   #  placement of the trailing "/".   
   #   
   #  The options are:   
   #  -a        Archive   
   #  -c        Checksum   
   #  -m        No empty directories   
   #  -n        Dry run, make sure to use this the first time!   
   #  -p        Permissions, which doesn't seem to like "x"   
   #  -r        Recursive   
   #  -v        Verbose, removed in all   
   #  -E        Preserve executability, which doesn't seem to actually work   
   #   
   #  --exclude    Something like "--exclude "*.exe", which given the odds   
   #               that the somewhat...uhhh...unreliable nature of the -p   
   #               and -E options, make it redundant, definitely sorta,   
   #               could be, maybe.   
   #   
   #  --delete  The most dangerous of them all, this one really, really works!   
   #            Especially if you get the source/destination reversed, not   
   #            that I have any experience with this situation.   
   #   
   #  --progress  For the terminally bored.
