[mirror-admin] "trash" folder system for rsync

[Chuck Anderson]

I thought people on this list would find this useful.  This may also 
solve the problem of staging the releases/ .newkey directories--just 
specify --compare-dest for each of the original release dirs so that 
rsync will use those as a basis for speeding up the .newkey downloads.

That would be the --backup, --backup-dir, --compare-dest, and --copy-dest 
(or --link-dest) options to rsync?
