​Indeed: the sequence of dots and letters before the name indicates why
rsync wants to update a file.

>From the '--itemize-changes' entry in the rsync man page:

"A t means the modification time is different and is being updated to
the sender’s  value"

"A p means the permissions are different and are being updated to the
sender’s value"

​See the man page for the meaning of other symbols.
