Lately I've taken to avoiding that fine point. I find it easier to internalize `foo/bar/.`. Using the self-referential dot this way doesn't carry the same semantics, but the effect is the same and it's a pattern that applies to many tools.

rather than consult the manpage yet again. When I want those semantics, I tack on the self-referential dot. `rsync foo/bar/. baz`
