--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?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.4.3

Please provide any additional information below.

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.
