Hi,

I'm using rsync with --link-dest to do backups.
I don't have any sparse files, but someday I might.
Should I be using --sparse?

I notice that -S is not implied by -a.  This makes
me suspicious that --sparse is not (yet?) suitable
for general purpose use.  There also seem to be
outstanding bugs related to --sparse.

Thanks.
