Hello! I've a question around default usage of the plugin. I've recently worked with the plugin and there's something that took me by surprise on the default args it's using:
-rlIpz --temp-dir=~/tmp --delay-updates are used when the are no rsyncConfig args provided via terminus.
In particular, the -I (uppercase i) is what caught me. According to rsync manual:
-I, --ignore-times don't skip files that match size and time.
So basically, that's making my rsync calls push everything onto the server whenever I run it (this is done in CI jobs), which is undesired because in my use case this can be several GBs of data, with a small subset likely to change.
I figured terminus rsync $source $dest -- -az gets the job done, and it's the way I've always used rsync.
Is there a reason for this? Is there anything I should be aware of when not using the default flags? The concern is that for being defaults, having -I seemed strange, so I'm wondering what's the reason behind it and if I should be aware of any implications for not using it.
