My expectation was that for the non-daemon rsync,  the %a and %h would indicate
the remote IP (if one) was being used, which was useful in the situation where
I am performing a pull rsync with a non-daemon rsync from many remote systems
(running the daemon) to one local repository.  currently I'm having to emit the
host name in the bash script that rsync is working with. 

eg 

(for loop)
echo $HOST
rsync -tr -v --out-format rsync://user@$HOST/log <dest>
(end loop)

It's not a biggie.. I just thought the %a and %h in the --out-format could do
that automatically for me.

I'm not sure what might be work emitting if the value is empty.. besides
perhaps making the distinction in the manpages a bit clearer as to which is
supported in daemon and non-daemon.
