Implied directories are those that are above the transfer area but included as a part of the path due to the use of -R (--relative). By default all implied directories get sent with their directory attributes, and the destination is forced to match that. If you want the implied paths to differ, --no-implied-dir will leave them alone. Using --keep-dirlinks also affects the transfer area, so that you can put a symlink to a directory anyplace that the sender has a dir. ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
