The -H there isn't needed and could only cause increased memory usage.
I realise that --link-dest implies hard links between directories, but I
use -H as well to maintain any hard links within the source directory.
Does that make sense?

Thank you Kevin.
I'd forgotten that --link-dest needed a relative path. This
works for me:
rsync -Haxv --stats --link-dest ../dir1 dir1/ dir2
The / on the end of the second dir1 is, of course, essential.
