rsync enhancement - check destination before creating file list?

[Bob Bagwill]

Wouldn't it make sense for rsync to check for the existence of the 
destination directory before creating the file list?  It's a waste to 
stat(2) thousands of files only to abort because the destination doesn't exist.
