rsync - Nov 2015 - [PATCH] ignore-non-existing-directory: add variant of ignore-non-existing

From: "Robin H. Johnson" <robbat2 at gentoo.org>

Add new option --ignore-non-existing-directory, that is a variant of
--ignore-non-existing, but applies ONLY to directories.

This was previously proposed in bug #8366, but I indepentantly had a use
case for it in the Gentoo infrastructure.

 already exist on the destination (this does em(not) ignore existing
 directories, or nothing would get done).  See also bf(--existing).
