What happens is that rsync creates the whole tree of directories below

Yes, that's the way rsync currently works. I'm considering making
--compare-dest and --link-dest affect symlinks and devices, but it only
affects regular files at the moment.
Ok. Good to know that progress is planned/considered :)
As for all the directories, it would take some kind of a lazy dir-
creation option to avoid creating directories that were not needed to
hold the non-directory content.
Exactly.
I think that would be fairly easy to create, but no one has coded it
up yet.
..wayne..
I would like to help but I'm too busy :( Thanks a lot for the info.
Still, I wonder what I can do in the meantime... Suggestions, anyone?
Have fun
Dirk
