Some use cases (namely anything with nontrivial amounts of data/code/assets) would benefit greatly from use of rsync. get/put currently don't support rsync, though they do at this point support recursion, globbing etc.

The contrib rsync functions tend to get little love and I tend not to want to support them as much. (See #517 for example.)

It might be wise to add an *optional* rsync-using backend to get/put, if we can get the existing get/put API to match up well.

Alternately, just make sure that the rsync functions from contrib are migrated to Patchwork (#461) which would include cleaning them up a bit.
