The easiest way to accomplish this is to make that signal file be name
.rsync-filter, put "- *" into it, and use the -F option for the copy.  Rsync
will then obey any filter rules it encounters in the .rsync-filter files it
finds sprinkled around in the hierarchy.  This idiom will leave an empty
directory, though.  If you want to avoid that, you'd need to put "- /dirname"
into the .rsync-filter file of the parent directory (the slash anchors the
exclude in the current directory so it doesn't filter a similarly named
file/dir in another directory).  If you want to hide the parent-dir
.rsync-fiter files, you can repeat the -F option.
