Why not add some boolean list to the repo definition controlling that, |
| 10 |
rather then requiring people to specify the raw RSYNC option? |

Something like REPO_OPTIONS='exclude-cache'? |

You can also jam some other options in there- one that might be useful |
| 14 |
for folks is specifying the minimal sync period (sync this repo at |
| 15 |
most once a day, or at most once an hour), etc. |
