I totally agree.
I thing that using a protect filter achieves this goal (without using
a * thus).
Example:
mkdir SOURCE/{a,b,c}
mkdir TARGET/d
## FAIL: delete d
rsync --dry-run -ai --delete SOURCE/ TARGET/
*deleting d/
.d..t...... ./
cd+++++++++ a/
cd+++++++++ b/
cd+++++++++ c/
## OK: for this trivial test
rsync --dry-run -ai --delete --filter 'protect /*' SOURCE/ TARGET/
.d..t...... ./
cd+++++++++ a/
cd+++++++++ b/
cd+++++++++ c/
You may need to read carefully the FILTER RULES section of the rsync
manual. I didn't count the number of time I read it :-)
