21 Actually the wiki has /usr/local/portage, but the default rsync options
22 have has --exclude=/local for a very long time. It might be safe to
23 remove it, but I guess it's probably safest to trigger a warning message
24 first, since some people might still be using it with rsync-verify disabled.
