When using rsync -avv to recursively copy a local directory on a 
remote server, and if the remote server has a symbolic link of the 
same name pointing to some other directory, then that remote symlink 
is clobbered in favor of the hard-wired path.  I looked at the man 
page and other rsync documentation about copying links, but not of the 
options seemed to apply in my case.  The closest was --copy-unsafe-
links, but it seemed to imply that this only referred to links on the 
local server, not the remote one.  What option do I specify so that 
rsync obeys/follows remote links and does not clobber them?
