You may want to also look at the -F option to rsync that allows
you to put .rsync-filter files in directories that has patterns
to be excluded under that directory. Then one can use an rsync
command such as ``rsync --delete-excluded -aHrxF ...'' which will
delete any files on the destination that would be excluded by the
exclude filters.
That is one might have a file, /var/.rsync filter that contained
something like this from this system.
