Getting --delete to work, simply

[Kevin Korb]

Note that these are working because S* and s* are being applied to all
the dirs and files within dirs.  So if you had x/Something it wouldn't
get copied and if you had S/else it wouldn't get copied.  Maybe you want
to add --prune-empty-dirs and an --include='*/' so that rsync will look
inside of all dirs for matching files.
