because i had enough cases with rsync over different partitions
where the missing trailing slash resulted in copy the whole data
to the source partition and fill it up

i did not research the exatc reason because it is and was
enough for me to realize that this NEVER happens if using
a trailing slash EVERYTIME when folders are used
