What about that:
with this hierarchy:
find dir1 dir3
dir1
dir1/dir2
dir1/dir2/backup
dir1/dir2/backup/subdir
dir1/dir2/backup/subdir/F3
dir1/dir2/backup/F2
dir1/dir2/backup/F1
dir3
dir3/backup
dir3/backup/F4
one may say, for two source directories:
rsync --dry-run --out-format='%i %f -> %n%L' -a dir1/dir2/backup/
dir3/backup/ backup/
cd+++++++++ dir1/dir2/backup/. -> ./
>f+++++++++ dir1/dir2/backup/F1 -> F1
>f+++++++++ dir1/dir2/backup/F2 -> F2
>f+++++++++ dir3/backup/F4 -> F4
cd+++++++++ dir1/dir2/backup/subdir -> subdir/
>f+++++++++ dir1/dir2/backup/subdir/F3 -> subdir/F3
Ref: man rsyncd.conf: log format
%i an itemized list of what is being updated
%f the filename (long form on sender; no trailing "/")
%n the filename (short form; trailing "/" on dir)
