symbolic links
rsync -aub foo/ bar/
will always overwrite a file in bar with a symbolic
link of the same name in foo. And there is no backup
written. Is this a bug, or is there a command-line
option to change this behavior?
In particular, I'd like to prevent the overwriting of
regular files with symbolic links and send a warning
message to the screen if it cannot be determined which
is more recent.

symlink bug still not fixed

I found and reported a bug about a year ago regarding
symbolic links but haven't seen any mention of it
since and it is still present in 2.6.1-pre2.
Just want to make sure it isn't forgotten.

one of which contains a normal file and the other has
a symlink of the same name. With the archive, update
and backup options set, rsync
