symlink in -R src_dirlist and real dirs on target

[-]

ok. thats straight through, but in my case i would like to delete dest/dir3
because it does not exist anymore in the source dir-tree. Do you have any
idea? I could use

parrentdir/ instead of parrentdir/./dir1/ and parrentdir/./dir2/ as source
but then I have the symlink problem you solved by adding the slash after
the symlinks.

Thanks
