Bug ID: 11800
Summary: smarter "safe" symlink detection
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: core

Hi,
We are using --copy-unsafe-links to sync a complex file/directory tree that
spans over multiple nfs drives to another site. However, --copy-unsafe-links
considers the following subdir1_link symlink as "unsafe":
/nfs/dir1/subdir1/
|-- file1
|-- subdir1_link -> /nfs/dir1/subdir1
`-- subdir2
`-- file2
subdir1_link is detected as unsafe and therefore its content is synced over and
over and therefore we get the following:
/nfs/dir1/subdir1/subdir1_link/subdir1_link/subdir1_link/...
Is it possible to detect that subdir1_link is actually a "safe" symlink and
sync it as:
subdir1_link -> .
Regards,
Mak
