This bug is caused by the incremental recursion added in 3.0.
That's the incompatibility -- incremental recursion is incompatible with
keeping the Hard links...
...
I didn't know hard links were so difficult for rsync...now I know why...
they don't pre-read the tree anymore...so there's no way they can
really keep track of what files need to be hard-linked -- thus
the hardlink generator fails because incremental-recursion is incompatible
with doing this... How LAME!... if that's the case, then -H should
auto-disable incremental recursion....
(which is what I did... I reran rsync with a different dataset and got another
failure like below, then I tried it with another dataset (daily diffs I can
only keep so long)... and it ran to completion.
Well...at least I know how to work around it...but until they get
incremental recursion fixed, it should probably be auto-disabled
for -H usage.
My storage requirements would seriously go up with hard links ignored.
(especially since I run deduplication on my files now and then that
links duplicates together!)....

How can I have a proto incompat when it it is talking to itself?...
