[mirror-admin] rsync start faster?

[J.H.]

Rsync 3.0 (which is what I'm thinking of as having the feature)
supposedly "corrects" some old "bugs" like screaming about things in
excludes and what not (from the server side) I don't necessarily agree
with all of it, but it wasn't a huge change seemingly and we haven't
noticed any problems or issues other than that.
