Please don't use -r to indicate rsync; I want to reserve that for
"revision", to enable the ability to create a webrev based on one or more
revisions in a tree.  I have working code for this, but it was rejected
some time ago (didn't take care of some unusual corner cases, I think) and
I haven't had time to make those fixes.

I think that given that cr.os.o uses rsync, webrev should use rsync by
default.  In fact, it should probably try rsync, then fall back to scp if
rsync failed.

I also think that you should just use user at host:directory notation like
rsync and scp, rather than littering webrev with a bunch of options that
only have to do with this rather minor functionality.
