This script lets you update a hierarchy of files in an atomic way by first
creating a new hierarchy (using hard-links to leverage the existing files),
and then swapping the new hierarchy into place.  You must be pulling files
to a local directory, and that directory must already exist.  For example:

mkdir /local/files-1
    ln -s files-1 /local/files
    atomic-rsync -aiv host:/remote/files/ /local/files/

If /local/files is a symlink to a directory that ends in -1 or -2, the copy
will go to the alternate suffix and the symlink will be changed to point to
the new dir.  This is a fully atomic update.  If the destination is not a
symlink (or not a symlink to a *-1 or a *-2 directory), this will instead
create a directory with "~new~" suffixed, move the current directory to a
name with "~old~" suffixed, and then move the ~new~ directory to the original
destination name (this double rename is not fully atomic, but is rapid).  In
both cases, the prior destintaion directory will be preserved until the next
update, at which point it will be deleted.

By default, rsync exit-code 24 (file vanished) is allowed without halting the
atomic update.  If you want to change that, specify the environment variable
ATOMIC_RSYNC_OK_CODES with numeric values separated by spaces and/or commas.
Specify an empty string to only allow a successful copy.  An override example:

ATOMIC_RSYNC_OK_CODES='23 24' atomic-rsync -aiv host:src/ dest/

See the errcode.h file for a list of all the exit codes.

See the "rsync" command for its list of options.  You may not use the
--link-dest, --compare-dest, or --copy-dest options (since this script
uses --link-dest to make the transfer efficient).
