           Summary: Use lchmod and lutimes whenever possible
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: hashproduct+rsync at gmail.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Currently, on systems that support lchmod and lutimes, rsync uses them only
when it needs to manipulate a symlink.  I think it should use them everywhere
in place of chmod and utimes to avoid surprises or vulnerabilities should a
destination file of another type be suddenly replaced by a symlink.
