Doesn't seem so hackish to me. Of course you could wrap it in a pretty
shell script if you didn't want to know what was going on. It's also
common to use tar in this context to do the operation with multiple
files preserving directory structure, etc.. With rsync, I suppose you
could use the --rsh switch.
