rsync - Nov 2014 - rsync prevent destination only new folders but need new files

Good day to all!

I'm doing git file replication task and need to sync source destination,
using below sync command.

rsync -atnvv --existing --exclude '.git' --progress source/
destination/;

Here I,

1) need  only sync directories that *exist on destination* ,no new folders
should copy from source - [used  --existing did the job but it not copying
new files also.]

2) need to copy *new files *on source  directory to destination.

Thanks in advance
Charith.

The only way I can think of to do that would be to use find -type d on
the target to generate a list of directories that pre-exist then use
that as an include list before an exclude of */  So, something like:

cd /destination
echo '- .git' > /tmp/filelist
find . -type d -print | sed -e 's/^./+ /' >> /tmp/filelist
echo '- */' >>> /tmp/filelist
rsync -anvi --exclude-from=/tmp/filelist --progress source/ destination/

You will notice that I changed your options a little bit...
- -t is included in -a and you will probably find -i to be more useful
than the second (or even the first) -v.  Though -vv is still useful
when debugging exclude/include.
