Do not delete other folders/files in top level destination when syncing

[jnboehm]

I have other folders in the top-level directory of the destination wehre I want to publish my blog. When I sync with the provided command, it will delete all files in the directory. What I would like is that only those files that are touched by hugo itself. rsync provides this capability when globbing (* operator) the source files. This means that there might be orphaned files created by hugo in the top-level directory, but I think the trade-off is worth it, as it prevents the surprised of finding unrelated files in the same directory deleted.

I have pasted a patch created with git format-patch.

Hi @jnboehm .
Thank you comment and patch.
I have added a defcustom to customize directory when rsync at 61a5046
You can use public/* below.
(setq easy-hugo-rsync-delete-directory "public/*")
It will be reflected at Melpa in around 6 hours.

Okay, that looks good and works for me as expected. Thanks!
