inputs/VegBIEN/TWiki/.rsync_ignore: /**: turn syncing back on, but only allow it unidirectionally from vegbiendev->jupiter->starscream to avoid clobbering the live site or the jupiter backup. this is probably the only dir whose authoritative copy is always on vegbiendev. for all other dirs, edits can be made wherever convenient, so no copy is authoritative and no sync directions need to be restricted.

/README.TXT: Maintenance: synchronization: fixed whitespace

inputs/.rsync_ignore: install.log.sql: only exclude this on starscream (the local machine), using new machine-specific .rsync_filters, so that vegbiendev's copies of this will be backed up

lib/sh/sync.sh: upload(): .rsync_filter: also support machine-specific filters, for cases when different machines produce the same file (e.g. a log file) but only one machine's copy should be backed up

/README.TXT: Maintenance: to synchronize a Mac's settings with my testing machine's: removed filters that are now handled by .rsync_ignores

added inputs/GBIF/_src/.rsync_filter.upload,download to prevent old versions of GBIFPortalDB-*.dump.gz from being downloaded to the local machine, while keeping them on jupiter. this avoids the need to store these files in ~/Documents/BIEN/large_files/ with symlinks from inputs/GBIF/_src/ to exclude them from the sync.

bugfix: /README.TXT: Maintenance: to synchronize a Mac's settings with my testing machine's: sync ~/Dropbox/svn/ (the no-unversioned-files working copy) separately from the rest of the files, because .svn/ is now excluded by /.rsync_ignore, so that `svn up` needs to be used to keep the .svn/ dirs in sync. note that .svn/ should generally not be synced between machines, because they may use incompatible versions of the svn working copy format.

/README.TXT: Maintenance: to synchronize a Mac's settings with my testing machine's: use new bin/sync_upload (with $sync_remote_subdir) so that per-dir .rsync_ignores are processed, and to use the default $sync_remote_url

lib/sh/local.sh: $sync_remote_url: allow user to override just the sync subdir (not the whole URL) in $sync_remote_subdir. this is useful e.g. for backing up the Mac's files to jupiter.

/README.TXT: Maintenance: to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and your local machine: use new bin/sync_upload instead of specifying all the filter patterns manually. this replaces several `put` commands with various filters with just a bin/sync_upload each on vegbiendev and your machine (in overwrite=1 mode to force a complete sync).
