FWIW, that forced command is here:

https://github.com/rwhector/dirvish-forced-command

It's rather unpolished and undocumented, but comments very welcome :-)

I've also had an issue due to some server-side-only arguments to rsync 
being undocumented, which means I can't validate them, and basically 
have to accept anything ... I'd love to know why this is or has to be 
the case :-) I didn't get any particularly useful answers back in 
January 2019 ...

Cheers,
Richard
