My God How did I miss that?
Also, it turned out my original problem was that I passed -delete instead of
--delete. I played too much with mencoder recently which uses single - for
both short and long options.

--delete option is not working for me. The following is a minimal example.
$ mkdir box1 box2
$ touch box1/letter box2/extra
$ rsync -a -vv box1/ box2/
sending incremental file list
delta-transmission disabled for local transfer or --whole-file
letter
total: matches=0 hash_hits=0 false_alarms=0
The manual says rsync can be used as an improved cp command.
If S1 and S2 are (local) source files or directories and T is an (local)
existing directory, is it safe to think that
$ rsync -r S1 S2 T
does the same thing as
$ cp -r S1 S2 T
, assuming no trailing slashes in S1, S2?
