The only way I can think of to do that would be to use find -type d on
the target to generate a list of directories that pre-exist then use
that as an include list before an exclude of */  So, something like:

cd /destination
echo '- .git' > /tmp/filelist
find . -type d -print | sed -e 's/^./+ /' >> /tmp/filelist
echo '- */' >>> /tmp/filelist
rsync -anvi --exclude-from=/tmp/filelist --progress source/ destination/

You will notice that I changed your options a little bit...
- -t is included in -a and you will probably find -i to be more useful
than the second (or even the first) -v.  Though -vv is still useful
when debugging exclude/include.
