--exclude and --exclude-from options for prsync

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

This is not really a problem, but a feature request for prsync.
rsync allows for the following options, but prsync doesnt (from what I can
tell):
     --exclude=PATTERN       exclude files matching PATTERN
     --exclude-from=FILE     exclude patterns listed in FILE

These options would allow greater flexibility when managing different types
of servers from a central location.  There is definitely a workaround for
this, but requires an extra rsync.  It would great to have it built in
directly in the prsync utility.

Sorry, I am not sure if this should go here, but I did not see a feature
request section.

Great utility!  Thanks.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

We've had a number of feature requests about adding support for underlying 
options 
for ssh and rsync.  In response to this, we added new "-x"/"-X" options which 
are in 
the new PSSH 2.1 release.  Using the new option would look something like this:

prsync -h hosts_file -x "--exclude=PATTERN" ...

Would you mind trying PSSH 2.1 and confirming that this works for you?

Thank you for your help in improving PSSH.

Thank you!  This is a perfect utility for me now.

Upgraded to 2.1 and the -x option works for both --exclude=PATTERN and
--exclude-from=FILE

Much appreciated.
