rsync-2.6.3 host::module/deep/path

[Essyug]

Hello,

I noticed that running rsync with a command such as:
rsync -a source host::module/deep/path

...doesn't create the directory "deep" if it doesn't exists, whereas the 
command:
rsync -a source host::module/singlefolder

*does* create "singlefolder". Is it the wanted behaviour? I tried to 
modify create_directory_path() in util.c, but didn't figure out how, 
since it seems to already create the full path. Did I miss an option?
