It doesn't seem like the trailing / on the target should matter. It
only means something special on the source.
However, if there is any error then rsync will abort the deletions for
safety.

Hi all,
I was wondering if it's possible to make the --delete option to not
delete files that have been newly created on the destination site but
which do not yet exist on the source side.
However it should still delete files that did exist on the source side
but were subsequently deleted.

Unfortunately rsync has no concept of "newly created".
