rsync - Apr 2007 - Exclude dirs but not files??

Hi all, is it possible to exclude directories without excluding the  
files _in_ the directories?  I ask because one of the things I do on  
a nightly basis is do a recursive dry-run against an entire webroot  
with the size-only option.  Very often, all the files themselves will  
be just fine, but the directories themselves will be listed as  
needing updated.  It would be nice if I could exclude the directories  
_themselves_ but not the files they contain.  Does this make sense?

I usually use -O (--omit-dir-times) to avoid having directories get
listed as needing to be updated (and syncing directory times is not
really all that useful anyway).

This works in conjunction with the --size-only option as well.  Thanks!
