           Summary: rsync --help misleading information
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Windows 2000
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: jan at dewal.net

about the --delete parameter, is shows 'not so logical' information

     --ignore-existing       ignore files that already exist on the receiving
side
     --delete                delete files that don't exist on the sending side
     --delete-excluded       also delete excluded files on the receiving side

Depending on, weither your sending a backup to a server or fetching a backup
from a server, this help does not make sense. Please change the help code into
something more logical, in example: 

 --delete delete files that don't exist on the target side or directory

keywords like: "target" or "source" would be mutch easyer to understand instead
of figuring it out by trial and error! Ive figured this for local copys, dont
know if this help conflicts with daemon mode :P
