On any recent rsync I've used, -P is equivalent to --partial when
rsync is not attached to a tty (or maybe it's just when -v isn't
supplied - I can't recall at the moment).  Basically it is just fewer
characters to type.

BTW, I'm also fond of fun stuff like this (from one of my mirror
scripts):

    RSYNC_OPTIONS=${RSYNC_OPTIONS:-"-aHP --delete --max-delete 1000"}
    if [ -t ] ; then
        RSYNC_OPTIONS="$RSYNC_OPTIONS -v"
    fi
