Hi,

the way rsync works right now, any source argument containing a colon is
treated as a remote sepcifier. This of course is annoying when you are
trying to copy local files that contain a colon. I'd therefore like to
either have an '--local' option which tells rsync the next argument is
local, no matter what, or a '--remote-seperator', which tells rsync
which sequence of characters should take the place of the colon.

Best regards,
Daniel
