It reads the batch data from stdin (the current manpage says "list"
where it should say "batch data").  This is quite useful, as seen
in the example in the manpage:

    $ rsync --write-batch=batch -a /source/dir/ /adest/dir/
    $ ssh remote rsync --read-batch=- -a /bdest/dir/ <batch

That saves you from having to first copy the batch to the remote disk
before doing the update.  Works fine in my limited testing.
