rsync does not retrieve the second and upwards copy of the same link
with -H. If you extend your rsyncing to more areas which contain
partially hard linked files to already downloaded, and rsync happens
to traverse the new area _first_, then it will download it (it does
not do two passes for this). But this will happen only on subscribing
to new folder in rsyncing, subsequent rsync will do the right thing.
