I found it:
http://git.shibboleth.net/view/?p=cpp-sp.git;a=blob;f=configs/metagen.sh;h=94e646ab0aad13e661f45861583eff866e0485b4;hb=HEAD

AFAICT, the primary purpose of this script is to create metadata
(hence, its name). In any case, I've been working on a complementary
script. It uses rsync to push files from one directory to another,
possibly on different hosts.

I'm trying to get my arms around the rsync command (which I'm not
familiar with). Can you post the command line you used to sync one
sourceDirectory with another while you were testing
LocalDynamicMetadataProvider on the IdP? (Yes, I know you're busy with
the SP right now. If this request needs to wait, that's fine.)

Thanks in advance,

Tom
