rsync --link-dest won't link even if existing file is out of date
Feature request: allow --link-dest dir to be linked to even if file exists
in target.
This statement from the man page is adhered to too strongly IMHO:
"This option works best when copying into an empty destination hierarchy, as
rsync treats existing files as definitive (so it never looks in the link-dest
dirs when a destination file already exists)".
I was suprised by this behaviour
