I am talking about metadata. Permissions, ownerships, etc. If a link
exists in the target and needs a metadata change then rsync will do a
chmod, chown, whatever which updates all the instances of the file.
If there hadn't already been a link there rsync would have written out
an entire new file to have the new metadata.
