I have a problem using option -n (to test if a sync operation will be
done) and I add empty directory in the source tree.

If I make:

  # mkdir source/empty
  # rsync -n -v -a ... source/ dest

rsync does not notes empty dir, but if I remove -n option it synchronize
correctly also the empty dir.

Why ?

I think this is important because, as I do, a command like `rsync -n'
could be inserted in crontab, for example hourly, to check if the source
tree has to be updated.

Thank you very much.
Marco.
