Public bug reported:

The title says it all!

rsync with -fake-super and --link-dest copies symlinks even when they
haven't changed.

This is incorrect behavior: symlinks, like all other files, should be
copied only if they have changed.

Without -fake-super, it works fine (nothing is copied unless it is
changed).

Without --link-dest, it works fine (nothing is copied unless it is
changed).

With both options specified, symlinks are copied regardless of whether
or not they changed

** Affects: rsync (Ubuntu)
