Thanks Travis, I think you're right.

I went for a "two-ways" solution because it cost little more code once I
opted to sort of "re-implement rsync in Python" instead of using rsync
itself. It also saved me changing the doxygen destination which was a bit
more convenient for testing and comparing. Then I lost track of this
non-requirement :-)
