A little OT, but still related:
Instead of -v, give -i a try. -v only shows you the path of synced files. In
addition to that, -i also shows you *why* a file is synced and what exactly is
synced (the whole file, or only permissions or timestamps or other attributes).


An example:

## create source and destination dir, and a source file
$ mkdir a b
$ touch a/foo

## rsync the -v way
$ rsync -av a/ b/
sending incremental file list
./
foo


## update timestamp of first file, create another file, and rsync with -i
$ touch a/{foo,bar}

$ rsync -ai a/ b/
.d..t...... ./
>f+++++++++ bar
>f..t...... foo

See what it did there? Rsync tells you that it copied the new file "bar",
but "foo" only had its timestamp changed, the same as for the root dir,
because we added a file to it.
