This behavior was adopted from the standard behavior of rsync. Note that under
the covers, rsync may or may not be used.
**Note:** Packer does not infer behaviors based on the guest operating system,
as this would add unnecessary complexity and reduce maintainability. To ensure
consistent behavior across all platforms, use a trailing forward slash when
specifying directories, even when working with Windows guests.

In general, local files used as the source **must** exist before Packer is run.
