rsync: omit summary with a single -v

[Dave Dykstra]

No, we can't do that because too many people depend on that output.
The --log-format option is what's intended to be used for people who
want to control the output.  Try it out; there's been a lot of talk of
improvements, but what's there now may be enough for you.  You'll need to
look at the rsyncd.conf man page to find out the format syntax. 

Alternatively, you can put the output of rsync through your own filter that
cuts out those extra lines.
