Hmm, how did you notice? :)

The repository top-level directory belongs to root. There was a change
recently on your side (chmod g-s) which rsync endlessly attempted to
perform, but couldn't since it's ran by an unprivileged user. Hence I
excluded the top-level directory from the sync.

Does that have any impact I didn't foresee?
