Look in the code to be sure, but I'd expect it just hasn't been=20
implemented. If I were in your shoes, I'd generalize the SYNC proto=20
support into something usable for binpkgs also- I did this in pkgcore,=20
works fairly well (and could be extended to fetching in general, which=20
again works well enough).
Personally, I wouldn't dick around with rsync for individual file=20
transfers- http/ftp seems better suited, but I may be missing=20
something about your setup that warrants it.
