I don't trust the terminal and myself so much that I when I rsync a remote folder to a local folder I use sshfs to mount that remote folder in read-only mode and rsync from that mount point rather than the remote folder.

And today I shot myself in the foot: I had forgotten to mount the remote folder so rsync synced an empty folder to my work copy.

To-do: add a confirmation of a dry run to my rsync one-liner.
