Computer OSes need a UI for handling long copy operations that may get interrupted.
Damn. I started this on Friday and it's still showing 14 hours to go.
I hope it actually works.

In conclusion: it didn't work correctly.
I dunno what happened, but it copied over basically everything from 2015 and 2016, then dropped everything between then and now.
So that sucks.
The source is a Time Machine backup. Will rsync handle all the proprietary shit that's tied into that? I know it uses custom extended attributes and the unusual directory hard links.
@benis Its output is a horror show of misfeatures stacked on top of each other.
