No you're right, and I don't use --delete because I like to keep files around
that I don't want to be deleted every time I rsync (any elegant way around the
problem of leftover files BTW?).
But you said you also had the airport.c file, right? And whether or not it's
available in the configuration only depends on Config.in, which can't differ
in two trees rsynced at the same time.
