That sounds fine to me. Though I suspect that one could add
--flags="-rpzltv --filter='P .svn'"
when calling rsync, this would probably fail because of
states.set("rsync.flags.normal", environment.argument("flags"),
"-rpztlv --stats", true) -- ok
states.set("rsync.flags.delete", nil, "--delete", true) -- ok
so the second one is hardcoded.
To what Aditya has answered: --keep option is probably not the
solution to what Oliver wants to achieve. I suspect that he indeed
wants to delete obsolete files, but preserve .svn.
This needs to be fixed by Hans, but my preference would probably be to
fix the behaviour for the other hardcoded delete flag. Exactly because
there might pop up other users wanting to ignore their git, mercurial,
darcs, ... files. And it would make sense to document that behaviour
somewhere.
