[Dirvish] the --delete option

I've been wondering about why dirvish calls rsync with --delete.
Dirvish usually ensures that its target tree is empty before starting
rsync (to the extent of removing the tree after a failed transfer before
trying again), so --delete should not be needed. It's probably down to
paranoia...
I'd suggest removing it. I'm going to try without --delete on my systems
for a while to see if anything bad happens.
Any comments or thoughts on the matter?
