Description Scott 2005-02-07 08:15:22 UTC 
Please forgive me if this is a duplicate RFE.  I searched but did not find one.

I need the ability to replicate/rsync the directory structure of certain
filesystems but not the contents.  I would love for an option like "--dir-only"
(or whatever you would like to call it).

Thanks
Scott

You can do this:

rsync -av --include='*/' --exclude='*' source destination
