Use --no-implied-dirs to have the path components of an -R source treated as
generic dirs.

Using --no-implied-dirs fixes only one of the six failures exhibited by the test
script .

Everything else is caused by bugs in your test script. (e.g. overwriting the
opts array with the opts scalar, removing the destination dir that holds the
copied file when copying the symlink, creating a symlink named "s" in
the source
dir instead of "symlink", creating a symlink to a non-existant file
named
"referent" instead of the actual "file", etc.)

same test script but with bug fixes

Terribly sorry to bother you with my stupid bugs.  I believe I've now fixed
them all, and there is still a problem with -L.  This fails:
  rsync -L --no-implied-dirs source/s/symlink .
In other words, --no-implied-dirs appears to fix the -l case but not the -L
case.

Your script is creating a symlink to a non-existant file, which can't be
copied
with -L.  If you change every instance of "referent" to
"file", the script will
work fine.
