Unfortunately rsync is dumb enough to transfer the hard-linked file
multiple times, and only then hard-link it.  Remains to be determined
whether this is because I prime my local tree by hard-linking files
that exist only in the remote tree with rpms of different versions of
the same package, which sometimes saves a bit of downloads.
