symlinks and --compare-dest option

[Tobias Reinhard]

Hi all!
 
I want to sync/copy a tree from a remote system to my local computer.
Let 's say they are completly synced. When I do
 
rsync remote.computer:/storage /new-storage --compare-dest=/ -a -v
 
As expected rsync does not copy the files but copies/recreate the
symlinks in the new folder.
 
Is there a way to suppress this (the creation of the links) when they
are the same?
 
Tobias
