           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org

Manual page reads:

       --skip-compress=LIST
              ...

              The default list of suffixes that will not be compressed
              is this (several of these are newly added for 3.0.0):

                 
gz/zip/z/rpm/deb/iso/bz2/t[gb]z/7z/mp[34]/mov/avi/ogg/jpg/jpeg

SUGGESTION

Please also add these compresser program extensions to the default
list:

*.lzo       lzop(1)
*.rzip      rzip(1)
*.lzma      lzma(1)
*.rar       rar comressed
*.ace       ace compressed

Archive can also be encrypted for backup purposes, so if possible
exclude also these extensions by default:

*.tar.gz.gpg
*.tar.bz2.gpg
*.tar.lzma.gpg
*.tar.lzop.gpg
