This is rather interesting. In the old days, rsync didn't hard-link symlinks
and devices. In 2.6.1 through 2.6.3, hard-linked non-regular files began to be
supported, but in a way that was inefficient (the symlinks and devices would all
get created as separate entities, and then the post-processing hard-link pass
would hard-link any groups together, possibly deleting a symlink or device that
was just created. In 2.6.4, the post-processing pass was done away with (to
make things more efficient), and thus the hard-linking of these non-regular
files broke.
So, the fix is to add hard-linking code to symlinks and devices so that they get
handled properly from the start. I'll attach a patch that does this.
