            Bug ID: 11423
           Summary: rsync 3.1.x is creating empty backup directories
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
          Assignee: wayned at samba.org
          Reporter: adsh at univ.kiev.ua
        QA Contact: rsync-qa at samba.org

Running the command

$ rsync -a --delete --backup --backup-dir=../old source/ dest/

with version 3.1.0 gives the output

Created backup_dir ../old/

even when no files are copied to the backup directory. I usually add the
current time to the backup directory name, which means I end up with many empty
directories. With version 3.0.9 of rsync, a backup directory was only created
if needed.
