Solved problem with hard links and schg flag under FreeBSD

[Franz Schwartau]

Hi!

Using rsync under FreeBSD with hard links and files having schg set
result in EPERM "Operation not permitted". This behavior can be observed
if rsyncing /usr/bin/.

The patch fileflags.diff tries to deal with this situation but changes
the flags of the parent directory only. It doesn't change the flags of
the files itself.

do_link() in syscall.c has to be fixed. The attached
syscall-do_link.c.txt contains the complete function do_link().
patch-syscall.c.txt is a patch which have the be applied after
fileflags.diff.

Please have a look at the changes.

What is the "official" way of asking for inclusion in the rsync
distribution? Reporting a bug via bugzilla?

        Best regards
                Franz
