Can you think of a way to improve that short description? (I usually find that people who misunderstood something have unobvious phrasing improvement suggestions.)

@robryk @hipsterelectron @halva prefacing that I am a noob, the options specify that it "deletes existing files on destination, if not part of source manifest" (I remember seeing a message informing it transmit a manifest something before the actual rsync started)?

@robryk @dunderhead @halva "non-tracked" maybe? in the cli for the zip crate i note which terms are special and have a more extended description for those below
