You could probably arrange this if you are using the rsh/rcp config 
options with suitable wrapper scripts.  Integrating it into sitecopy 
itself probably isn't sensible, since the rsync protocol itself does not 
support moving/renaming files.

But really, if you can use rsync between client and server I'd just do 
so and not use sitecopy at all.  rsync will be much faster in all cases 
apart from moving files about; but even that's something that could be 
fixed in rsync too, I expect.
