+dit(bf(munge symlinks)) The "munge symlinks" option tells rsync to not
+allow absolute symlinks (any leading slashes are stripped) and to trim
+parent-dir references ("../") if they attempt to move beyond the root of
+the transfer. Use this option if you need to ensure that other processes
+(besides a daemon rsync) don't ever see a module-created symlink that can
+point outside the module, or perhaps if you value safety over preserving
+symlink data.
+
+Prior to rsync 2.6.9, symlink munging was always enabled when "use chroot"
+was off, and always disabled when it was on. Starting with 2.6.9, this
+symlink-munging is totally controlled by the setting of this option.
