ok. thats straight through, but in my case i would like to delete dest/dir3 because it does not exist anymore in the source dir-tree. Do you have any idea? I could use
parrentdir/ instead of parrentdir/./dir1/ and parrentdir/./dir2/ as source but then I have the symlink problem you solved by adding the slash after the symlinks.
