Re: PATCH: add --no-symlink-perms option for ignoring symlink permissions on transfer

Hi Roland,
This sounds like it is worth fixing. I have a mac mini here I could
test against.
A PR would be welcome, but please see if you can come up with a
testsuite (may be a bit tricky as this is an inter-platform issue, we
may need to spin up a linux VM within the macos CI runner).
I have no problem with you using AI to develop patches. All changes
will also be reviewed by humans. I've using claude a lot, but I also
cross-check all changes with codex and check things by hand as well. I
do also require test suites for all new features (and I've been
greatly expanding the test suites for existing features).
On your patch, I'd prefer --omit-link-perms, similar to
--omit-link-times. Maybe we should make this the default for macos ->
linux transfers?
Cheers, Tridge
