This is true if you are using incremental recursion since rsync is trying
to finish a dir's contents in time to set the dir's mtime before moving on
to the reset of the tree.  If you specify --no-inc-resursive you'll avoid
these early-create directories.  I am also checking in a change to the
--omit-dir-times code (-O) (or --no-times) to make it also avoid these
early-create directories, which allows someone to continue to use
incremental recursion w/o seeing these early-create directories.
