rclone: "rsync for cloud storage".

To update or switch versions, run `webi rclone@stable` (or `@v1.54`, `@beta`,
etc).
## Cheat Sheet
> rclone is like rsync, but optimized for cloud storage and SSDs. rclone is also
> faster than rsync for many use cases.
`rclone` is compatible with a wide range of cloud storage providers including:
- Google Drive
- S3
- (AWS, Minio, Digital Ocean, etc)
- Dropbox
- Backblaze B2
- One Drive
- Swift
- Hubic
- Wasabi
- Google Cloud Storage
- Yandex Files
### How to copy local files, like rsync
`rclone`s cloud-first, SSD-first optimizations can cause performance issues when
copying between HDDs. For performance more similar to `cp` (better than `rsync`)
you can use the following options:
`--tranfers=1` will only copy one file at a time, preventing thrashing and
fragmentation.
`--check-first` will catalog files before copying.
`--order-by name` will copy files one directory at a time.
Example:
```sh
rclone sync -vP --transfers=1 --order-by name --check-first ~/ /Volumes/Backup/home
```
Example, excluding common temporary directories:
```sh
rclone sync -vP --transfers=1 --order-by name --check-first \
--exclude 'node_modules/**' --exclude '.Spotlight-*/**' --exclude '.cache*/**' \
~/ /Volumes/Backup/home
```
