Rsync without any options or arguments is a usage error so
the message is technically correct.  It might be more precisely
conformant to the documented usage to not output the usage
message and just output the error but what would be the
point?  If you execute rsync -h no error is generated.

I'd describe this as a user-friendly nit.  Barely worth
changing.
