It appears that the --timeout only works when using the rsync protocol, but not when copying between two directories. So if the destination is on a network filesystem and the network link is disconnected, rsync will only abort the operation once the underlying system finally reports that the destination is no longer reachable, which can take quite a while. Is this the intended behavior? If so, should the documentation/manpage spell this out explicitly?
