Because CVS ignores generated files, including libraries, by default.
The default CVS exclude list is
static char *cvs_ignore_list[] = {
"RCS","SCCS","CVS","CVS.adm","RCSLOG","cvslog.*",
"tags","TAGS",".make.state",".nse_depinfo",
"*~", "#*", ".#*", ",*", "*.old", "*.bak", "*.BAK", "*.orig",
"*.rej", ".del-*", "*.a", "*.o", "*.obj", "*.so", "*.Z", "*.elc", "*.ln",
"core",NULL};
To this is added the contents of ~/.cvsignore, $CVSIGNORE, and any
.cvsignore files in the repository. This is (I think) the same as CVS
itself.
You should be able to override the defaults by putting a '!' in your
$CVSIGNORE variable before running rsync, since it's interpreted
by the same exclude matcher as other patterns. (See the manual
section for details.) I haven't tested this, though.
