feature request: create remote directory

I have a program that copies pictures to a web server using rsync.
Typically it will do something like copy IMG_1234.JPG to
server:/www/docroot/YEAR/MONTH/DAY, where the appropriate numbers are
inserted for YEAR/MONTH/DAY. Currently the only way to do this with
rsync is to locally create YEAR/MONTH/DAY and then tell rsync to copy
it. I would like a syntax which would tell rsync to create a specific
remote directory. Something like:
--remote-dir DIR
Before transferring any files, create DIR if it does not yet exist, and
then put all the files requested to be transferred in that directory.
