bf(--keep-dirlinks), the receiver keeps the symlink and "file" ends up in
"bar".
+One note of caution: if you use bf(--keep-dirlinks), you must trust all
+the symlinks in the copy! If it is possible for an untrusted user to
+create their own symlink to any directory, the user could then (on a
+subsequent copy) replace the symlink with a real directory and affect the
+content of whatever directory the symlink references. For backup copies,
+you are better off using something like a bind mount instead of a symlink
+to modify your receiving hierarchy.

See also bf(--copy-dirlinks) for an analogous option for the sending side.
dit(bf(-H, --hard-links)) This tells rsync to look for hard-linked files in
bf(--perms) option is off and use bf(--chmod=ugo=rwX) (which ensures that
all non-masked bits get enabled). If you'd care to make this latter
behavior easier to type, you could define a popt alias for it, such as
-putting this line in the file ~/.popt (this defines the bf(-s) option,
+putting this line in the file ~/.popt (the following defines the bf(-Z) option,
and includes --no-g to use the default group of the destination dir):
-quote(tt( rsync alias -s --no-p --no-g --chmod=ugo=rwX))
+quote(tt( rsync alias -Z --no-p --no-g --chmod=ugo=rwX))
You could then use this new option in a command such as this one:
-quote(tt( rsync -asv src/ dest/))
+quote(tt( rsync -avZ src/ dest/))
-(Caveat: make sure that bf(-a) does not follow bf(-s), or it will re-enable
-the "--no-*" options.)
+(Caveat: make sure that bf(-a) does not follow bf(-Z), or it will re-enable
+the two "--no-*" options mentioned above.)
The preservation of the destination's setgid bit on newly-created
directories when bf(--perms) is off was added in rsync 2.6.7. Older rsync
initial items are marked as perishable -- see the FILTER RULES section):
quote(quote(tt(RCS SCCS CVS CVS.adm RCSLOG cvslog.* tags TAGS .make.state
-.nse_depinfo *~ #* .#* ,* _$* *$ *.old *.bak *.BAK *.orig *.rej
-.del-* *.a *.olb *.o *.obj *.so *.exe *.Z *.elc *.ln core .svn/ .bzr/)))
+.nse_depinfo *~ #* .#* ,* _$* *$ *.old *.bak *.BAK *.orig *.rej .del-*
+*.a *.olb *.o *.obj *.so *.exe *.Z *.elc *.ln core .svn/ .git/ .bzr/)))
then, files listed in a $HOME/.cvsignore are added to the list and any
files listed in the CVSIGNORE environment variable (all cvsignore names
