I've lost track of the number of times someone has complained on this list because blah/blah/* didn't behave as he expected and the problem went away when he dropped the unnecessary wildcard.
Hmmm... given the following files:
foo/a foo/b foo/c/1
how do you do "rsync foo/* bar" without globs? Note that this is _not_ recursive. All I can think of is to replace the glob with an exclude, doing "rsync -r --exclude='*/*' foo/ bar/", which is an absolutely terrible construct (please recurse - whoops, just kidding!).
Hmmm... using bash, you can do "rsync --files-from=<(find foo/. -maxdepth 1 ! -type d -printf '%P\n') foo bar/", but that's also wretched.
