The git code should have this fixed. Feel free to build it yourself, or
try the executable in the tar file from here:

Hi,
SHORT:
rsync shall ignore differences in meta (inode) data, but does not even
with --size-only. -- If in combination with --link-dest.
Is there any flag I missed?
EXPLANATION:
I use
rsync -avbuH --size-only --stats --delete-excluded
--link-dest=/path/to/last "user@system:Shared/Data" /pat
-a is telling rsync to copy the metadata. --size-only is telling rsync
to skip the contents of files that are the same time. Without
--link-dest rsync would just update the metadata on the target.
However, with --link-dest rsync is being told to make the same file with
2 different metadatas.
Thanks Kevin,
-a implies rlptgoD and I obviously used it by comfort and habit.
Omitting -t (and perhaps also gop, not really needed) might solve my
problem? Will give it a try.

I can't say I have tried it but -pog would all also result in
duplicating files (assuming they are different).
