Wayne,
I strongly disgree with this patch. It changes the historic and
expected behavior of an existing option (this also affects -a).
If anything, the patch should be for the negative -
--no-dir-times don't preserve times on directories
Furthermore, the NFS problem that Brian was experiencing is fixed
by his refined patch, so this option isn't needed.
Please don't change functionality of basic rsync options to fix
a problem that is as obscure as this one is... :)
