The first two commands do exactly the same thing because the
destination has a single colon, indicating rsync over a remote shell,
and the default remote shell is ssh. All "-e ssh" does in this
situation is explicitly restate the default. (If the source or
destination is an rsync daemon, "-e ssh" does make a difference: it
indicates a single-use daemon invoked over ssh.)
