Bug: in 2.6.1

[Gordon Lack]

   If, in a hierarchy which has been previously rsync()ed, I replace a
non-empty directory with a symbolic link the rsync will fail.

   It does work if the original directory was empty.

   It also works if I specify --delete (presumably since that deletes
first, so we end up with an empty directory).

   But using --delete on a job by default isn't a good idea!

   Is there some way to get symlinks to replace non-empty directories
without using --delete?
