Feature Request: Options to limit --one-file-system at the source or destination.

[Hans Deragon]

Greetings.


  Currently, the --one-file-system applies to both the source and
  destination and this is a problem.

  In my source, I have a symlink pointing to a directory on another
  device which I would like to have copied.  I thus use
  --copy-unsafe-links.

  I also use --delete.  This is dangerous because if there is a bug in
  my script, I would not like the destination to become suddenly / and
  deletion occurs on mounted network drives (granted, the machine would
  be toast, but the damage would be limited to the machine; not the
  corporate network).

  If I make use of --one-file-system, the symlink at the source gets
  ignored.  So I need a --one-file-system option that applies only to
  the destination, probably named something like
  --one-file-system-at-destination.

  Could that be easily implemented?  The following two options would be
  nice:

  --one-file-system-at-source
    # Limit to one file system at the source.

  --one-file-system-at-destination
    # Limit to one file system at the destination.
