rsync - May 2004 - ? about FLAG_TOP_DIR

in send_file_name(), there is:

      if (write_batch) 
                file->flags |= FLAG_TOP_DIR;

Can anyone explain this?  It results in the file flags sent to the
batch file differing from the ones sent to the recevier by that one
bit.  But, why?

Every time I see that code I wonder why it is there.  My initial
reaction is that it would break (or seriously slow down) --delete
handling, but I have never tried to trace it down to see what is
actually going on.
