If you started the transfer in "/", protecting /dir/* will prevent any
recursion in that part of the hierarchy.  If you have multiple sources,
that protection will not match if the source is down somewhere inside
the /dir/ hierarchy.  You could specify something like this:

    -f 'P/ /dir/**'

That uses the "/" option to protect to tell rsync that you're specifying
an absolute path instead of one that is relative to the source dir.
Then, the "**" matches anything no matter how deep (as opposed to "*",
which does not match a slash).
