Hi, rsync experts!
Would you please address the following issue (an apparent bug. But I would
rather reserve judgment and let you decide).
When rsync is run with the --no-times switch, file transfers based on time
difference indeed do not happen.
HOWEVER...
When -i (or -vv ?) is also specified, the transfer that does not happen is
nevertheless reported as if it *did *happen ( or under --dry-run, *would*
happen).
This issue is mentioned at :

# Sorry, maybe I was not clear. I was referring to the 'T' tag
under
transfer. If you
# look for ' T ' (beware the two spaces) in the man page, it says:
An
alternate value
# of T means that the modification time will be set to the transfer
time, which happens
# when a file/symlink/device is updated without --times and when a
symlink is changed
# and the receiver can't set its time. (Note: when using an rsync
3.0.0 client, you
# might see the s flag combined with t instead of the proper T flag
for this
# time-setting failure) I was not able to make rsync to really ignore
times (no
# reporting this). ? Luis A. Florit Feb 21 '19 at 20:08

Thank you!
