I think using hide filters (like --filter="H *.tmp") for temporary and scratch
files will accomplish what you want.  If some such files accidentally get
copied to the receiver and then you add a hide filter matching them, rsync will
delete the files from the receiver the next time it runs.  This is probably
easier than having rsync warn you so that you can clean the files up by hand.

Would itemizing pinned directories as "*pinned" provide enough of a warning for
the cases in which you don't want the excluded file inside deleted
automatically?
