It might not be safe for rsync to delete a non-empty .~tmp~ dir if multiple
rsync commands are running at the same time (hopefully updating different
files). One could argue that two simultaneously running rsyncs should really
be using different partial-dir settings to avoid other potential failures (such
as an empty directory being removed by one rsync right before the other can
open a temp file in it). I'll consider allowing this, but it might be better
to make this an option, or to only enable it if a custom --partial-dir name is
chosen.
As for your example, rsync does not remove the empty .~tmp~ dir because it
didn't use it during that run. If rsync had updated a file in the destination
directory, it would have removed the dir (as long as it was empty). This
behavior is certainly debatable, and might change in the future.
