rsync shellescape disable option
Rsync special remotes can be configured with shellescape=no to avoid shell
quoting that is normally done when using rsync over ssh. This is known to
be needed for certian rsync hosting providers (specificially
hidrive.strato.com) that use rsync over ssh but do not pass it through the
shell.
