Comment (by hinder):

 I don't really see the point of .rsync.rules files throughout the Cactus
 tree.  Are these committed to the repositories of the respective thorns?
 Isn't the decision about what to sync something that is made by the
 individual user about their use of their particular Cactus tree with
 SimFactory, and hence should be kept along with the other SimFactory
 configuration files?  Where do you use these .rsync.rules files?  What
 happens when you change Cactus tree?  Do you collect them all up and copy
 them to another tree?  I think having these rules in a single place makes
 much more sense.
