- - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
- algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data.
+ - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit
+ instead of silently ignoring the option.
+
+ - Fixed a bug in the --link-dest code that prevented special files (such as
+ fifos) from being linked.
+
+ - The ability to hard-link symlinks and special files is now determined at
+ configure time instead of at runtime. This fixes a bug with --link-dest
+ creating a hard-link to a symlink's referent on a BSD system.
