Actually, at least the manpage is unclear.
And *differs* from the default behavior of native rsync (at lesat on
Ubuntu) that sets the dir time to the current time -- which is more
reasonable than some arbitrary epoch = 0 time.

That is what I would have expected and I believe should be the default
behavior...

Unset is unset, it's not the option to use if you want the directory modification time set.
