Directories are only followed if you use -r aka --recursive. Note that in my
example I did so. However, if you added -r to your example you would get any
directory in the current directory named *.c recursively. IOW it would
recursively copy a directory named foo.c but would not copy foo/bar.c
Simply put, *.c as the source is expanded by the shell globbing. Rsync is
actually given a list of every file/directory that matches *.c. Then without
--recursive it ignores the ones that are directories. Without --specials it
ignores those too.
