[Rd] Using rsync from Windows

[Duncan Murdoch]

I've just installed the Cygwin version of rsync, with an aim of
syncing to the development version, as recommended on
<http://cran.r-project.org/sources.html>.  Could someone give an
example of the syntax to invoke it?  From the man page, I expected

 rsync rsync.rproject.org::

to give me a file listing, but I get:

 unknown host: rsync.rproject.org

Other network utilities (e.g. ssh) work, so it's not a simple network
problem, it's something I've missed in the rsync setup or on the
command line.  Any suggestions?
