rsync issue

[Rodolfo Medina <rodolfo.medina@gmail.com>]

Hi to all Debian users.

In rsync manual I coudn't find a solution to what I want.  I wish to copy all
my home directory into another machine with the --delete option, but:

1) I dont't want hidden files, i.e.: `.*' to be copied;

2) on the other hand, there are some symlinks, beginning with `.', that I want
   to be copied.

The --exclude option won't help.

>From my home directory, if I do:

 $ rsync -vrtul --delete * 192.168.0.2:/home/rodolfo

, hidden files that are in `~/' are not copied at all nor the --delete option
applies to files that are in `~/', so it's not good; from /home, if I do:

 $ rsync -vrtul --delete rodolfo 192.168.0.2:/home

, everything is copied, also system hidden directories and files, which I don't
want.

Please help with this issue.
Thanks for any help
Rodolfo
