rsync - Feb 2009 - rsync replaces symlinks on destination

Hi,

I need an option to make rsync not replace a symlink on destination,
but for files.
Something like --keep-links.

Let's suppose I have this setup:
 - source-dir/source-file
 - destination-dir/destination-file (symlink to ../real-destination-file)
 - real-destination-file

After doing an "rync -a source-dir/ destination-dir", I'd like to
have
my destination-dir/destination-file symlink kept, but the content of
real-destination-file synced to the content of source-dir/source-file

Is it possible in any way ?
If not, would a patch implementing a --keep-links option would be accepted ?

Thanks :)

I forgot to tell that source-file and destination-file have the same name.
It would look like:
  - ./source-dir/filename
  - ./destination-dir/filename -> ../another-file
  - ./another-file

Thanks for your time =)
