When copying these with -H, rsync gets more than a little confused:
Your rsync must be configured without CAN_HARDLINK_SYMLINK being defined
(see config.h), as the normal code has been working fine for quite a while.
Yes - it contains
/* Define to 1 if link() can hard-link symlinks. */
/* #undef CAN_HARDLINK_SYMLINK */
But this suggests something wrong with the configure script, as Solaris 10_x86
is perfectly capable of hardlinking symlinks.
(This was rsync compiled from source, using various Sun Studio C compilers.)
Apparently the we-don't-support-it code wasn't tested very well, since I
also saw some issues trying it out. I've checked-in a fix for this into
the git repo. Thanks for the report!
Meanwhile, I'll try forcibly modifying config.h, then! Thanks.
