Hello,

I am copying /mnt/foo to /mnt/bar/

   rsync --info=name1,del2 -rl /mnt/foo /mnt/bar/

/mnt/foo contains deep directory structure, ie:

   /mnt/foo/aaa/
   /mnt/foo/aaa/somestuff/
   /mnt/foo/aaa/somestuff/file1

   /mnt/foo/bbb/
   /mnt/foo/bbb/someotherstuff/
   /mnt/foo/bbb/someotherstuff/file2

I am not interested in details which individual files were copied, just
the main directory. Is it somehow possible for rsync to only report the
first level directory?

ie, to have output like this when copying:

   /mnt/foo/aaa/
   /mnt/foo/bbb/


thanks,
