Ok, somehow I missed -P, thanks :)

I had meant to exhaustively test all these various
things with -Ha (and optionally --link-dest) back
when I was reporting those sorts of bugs but never
got around to it. Someone really should work up a
make test for it all.

[1] Inode consumers
.
..
dir
file
char
block
fifo
socket
slink

[2] Name entries
hlink (all but dirs are hard linkable)

[3] Meta info
perm
user/group
birth/modify/access/change time

FreeBSD is moving its syscalls towards being able to
change any of the properties in [3] for entities
in [1], there are some left to go. It's not a bad
or nonsensical thing either, just an inode.
