Currently, rsync --delete -avvn test1/ test2/ --existing will give output such as:
not creating new file "newdir" not creating new file "newdir/newfile" not creating new file "newdir/subdir" It would make more sense if it said: not creating new directory "newdir" not creating new file "newdir/newfile" not creating new directory "newdir/subdir" This following simple patch fixes this.
