symbolic links

[Peter Sturdza]

rsync -aub foo/ bar/
will always overwrite a file in bar with a symbolic
link of the same name in foo.  And there is no backup
written.  Is this a bug, or is there a command-line
option to change this behavior?

In particular, I'd like to prevent the overwriting of
regular files with symbolic links and send a warning
message to the screen if it cannot be determined which
is more recent.

Thanks,
Peter
