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.
