Description Jari Aalto 2009-09-02 11:16:39 UTC 
While using the --delete option, rsync displays:

      rsync: --delete does not work without -r or -d.

SUGGESTION

Prefer using readable --long options names in the messages, which would
be understood at a glance.

I'm committed an improved message to the git repository.
