[Bug 11523] New: Request: Add option to unlink hard links when permissions change
Folks, bugs at stupidkitties.com wrote: " I was wondering if it'd be feasible to add an option (or multiple options, depending on the desired granularity) to cause rsync to treat changes in file attributes the same way it treats changes to the file's contents when it encounters hard links at the destination. Maybe something like --relink-p or something?" One of colleagues has produced a patch to do just what you want, but we have not promulgated it yet. Sorry. Regards Rob. Dr Robert C.

Apparently Analagous Threads
- rsync - detecting change/no-change without an itemised list
- rsync Digest, Vol 162, Issue 18
- Multiple errors from rsync - later 'soft' error raised rather than earlier 'hard' error.
- Changed attributes for a file in destination that is hard linked get propagated to --link-dest directories
