rsync

[Michael Havens]

One more question; it is about the trailing slash. From what I've read if
you put the slash after the source directory rsync will not create and copy
that directory but everything under it will be copied. My question (whether
or not my understanding of it is correct) is does the trailing slash matter
after the destination directory? (and please, correct me if my
interpretation is wrong)
