Thanks for testing the patch!

I disagree. Rsync is not /unable/ to delete the directory; it merely chooses
not to delete the directory because you gave it a protect filter (or an exclude
filter that implies a protect filter). It's not an error when one requested
behavior (the protect filter) takes priority over another (--delete).
You have to decide what you want. If you want rsync to delete the directory,
use a hide filter instead of an exclude filter, or give the parent-protect
flag. If you want rsync not to delete the directory, continue to use an
exclude filter; if you want it to remind you why it isn't deleting the
directory, use -vv.
> {dirname}/ cannot be deleted because it contains a protected/excluded file
Sure, that is clearer to users, but I would change "cannot be deleted" to "was
not deleted".

And we wait... :)
