+dit(bf(-k, --keep-dirs)) Tell the sending side to keep any directories that
+are encountered. Unlike --recursive, a directory's contents are not copied
+unless the directory was specified on the command-line as either "." or a
+name with a trailing slash (e.g. "foo/"). Without this option or the
+--recursive option, rsync will skip all directories it encounters (and
+output a message to that effect for each one).
