[PATCH] time limit

[Brian McEntire]

I didn't write the patch, so I can only beg  :-) ...

That patch will be very useful to me too! 

To the patch author: would it be much more trouble to specify a stop time
rather than just a delay? If I want to backup a varying number of systems
from cron and limit them to "off hours", the --time-limit patch should go
a long way, but if there was a --stop-at or similar, it might be even
easier to implement.

I vote to include in a future release. I also fully understand the counter
pressure to avoid feature creep too. Rsync is great already!  :-)
