The problem is caused by the source dir being "src/" instead of "src"
when --relative is specified (this causes a problem internally because
the starting directory is transferred as "src/.", so the receiver's
heuristic to separate implied dirs in the file list from real dirs is
not properly marking those subdirs as a part of the transferred
hierarchy).

You can work around the problem for now by dropping the trailing slash
(while I work up a fix).  Thanks for the report,
