rsync: getting a script to run before/after every instance?
 
Is it possible to get a script to run every time rsync runs? For example, when I do
Code:
rsync -avr A:src/ B:dest/
I want a script to run before (or after) the syncing on B. I want to do this so that I can implement some sort of versioning on B, so that on every rsync I can make a timestamped copy of any files that change.

Why can't you just write a batch file that calls the versioning then rsync, so something like

Code:
#!/bin/sh
/path/versioning
/usr/bin/rsync -avr A:src/ B:dest/
or paramatise it if you want?
