The main problem there is that a long-standing bug in Cygwin keeps
rsync-started-by-sshd from working.  It starts up but after a
short time both ends hang waiting for each other. You can do a
standalone rsync running in daemon mode but it takes more client
setup.

Does anyone here do Cygwin development or know the right person
to beg for a bugfix?
