[Bug 12806] Deleting in a row of hardlinked snapshots resets file permissions.

--- Comment #7 from Aryo Da <rsync at altfeld-im.de> ---
I think this a severe bug for all backup use cases of rsync that take a full
snapshot with permissions (--perms) by creating hardlinks to unchanged files +
copies of changed files (--link-dest):

-> Whenever an old snapshot is deleted with `rsync --delete` the permissions of
the hardlinked files change and trigger another copy of the files in a new
snapshot (= waste of storage space and backup run-time).
