You can also use -d (--dirs) instead of -r (--recursive).  That makes
rsync transfer just the contents of a specified "dir/" (with trailing
slash) without the contents of any subdirs.  All modern rsyncs will
allow --delete* to be used with -d w/o -r (though older rsyncs will
ignore the --delete* option w/o -r).  Matt's suggestion (the use of
excludes) will work with all rsync versions.
