Created an attachment (id=4964)

Updated man page patch

This patch revises the --hard-links description to describe both cases
(nonempty destination and --link-dest), intentionally leaving open the
possibility of more (I had --detect-renamed-lax without --delete in mind but
didn't want to mention it on the trunk).  I also took the opportunity to revise
the --inplace description.  For posterity, here is the tug-of-war case I
mentioned:

$ mkdir src dest
$ touch dest/1
$ ln dest/1 dest/2
$ echo foo >src/1
$ echo blort >src/2
$ rsync -rt --inplace -i src/ dest/
.d..t...... ./
>f.st...... 1
>f.st...... 2
$ rsync -rt --inplace -i src/ dest/
>f.st...... 1
$ rsync -rt --inplace -i src/ dest/
>f.st...... 2
$ rsync -rt --inplace -i src/ dest/
>f.st...... 1
$ rsync -rt --inplace -i src/ dest/
>f.st...... 2
