+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# This script can be used as an rsync command-line filter that strips a single
+# trailing slash from each arg.  That treats "src/" the same as "src", thus
+# you need to use "src/." or "src//" for just the contents of the "src" dir.
+# (Note that command-line dir-excludes would need to use "excl//" too.)
+#
+# To use this, name it something like "rs", put it somewhere in your path, and
+# then use "rs" in place of "rsync" when you are typing your copy commands.
