Protect filters are only relevant for destination files that do not
have counterparts on the sender. If you protect /r3*, all the files
inside /r3.1 on the receiver will still be deleted if /r3.1 is an
empty directory on the sender. To stop the receiver's /r3.1 from
being modified at all, you should use both a hide filter (H) and a
protect filter (P). On the other hand, if rsync is trying to remove
the directory /r3.1 itself, that is a bug, and you should send more
information so we can investigate.

Matt,
I forgot to mention a few things:
- I use rsync-2.6.6 but from the NEWS file I didn't notice much changes
in this area in 2.6.8
- the command I use is:
rsync -rltgoDuvR --delete-excluded --filter='+ /rsync-filter'
--filter=': ./rsync-filter' --include='*' . /tmp/scratch
The rsync-filter file in the root dir is the one I described in my
initial post; the only other rsync-filter is in /some-other-dir
If I use:
+ /r4*/
P /r3*
H /r3*
+ /some-other-dir/
- /*
I still see rsync remove all my r3* dirs in the destination:
deleting r3.2/sol/
deleting r3.2/lin/
deleting r3.2/
deleting r3.1/sol/
deleting r3.1/lin/
deleting r3.1/
deleting r3.1.2/sol/
deleting r3.1.2/lin/
deleting r3.1.2/
deleting r3.0/sol/
deleting r3.0/lin/
deleting r3.0/
Christophe.
