You can make a simple test to know that but I would say that rsync doesn't
create your destination "root" directory (the one you specify on the command
line) unless `--mkpath` is used.

Actually, I'm not sure to understand Greg's remark here.
In my opinion, trailing slash doesn't matter for destination folder on the
contrary of *source* folder.
In other words, for me, the following are equal:
rsync -a mysite/doc_root/ mysite_test/doc_root/
rsync -a mysite/doc_root/ mysite_test/doc_root
But not the following:
rsync -a mysite/doc_root mysite_test/doc_root => you will get an extra
"doc_root" folder (the source one) in your dest, i.e. :
mysite_test/doc_root/doc_root and then the content of doc_root source
rsync -a mysite/doc_root/ mysite_test/doc_root => your doc_root (destination)
folder will get doc_root content (source) directly
