Description Michal Ruprich 2017-11-14 16:26:21 UTC 
If I use rsync with --link-dest and --out-format, no output gets printed. I've done some debugging and when I use the --link-dest, the log_item and log_formatted functions from rsync are skipped altogether. 

Example command:
rsync -H --link-dest=/tmp/test_sync/directory_a --out-format="<<CHANGED>>%i %n%L" /tmp/test_sync/directory_a/foo.txt /tmp/test_sync/directory_b/foo.txt

Result:
The files get synced but there is no output produced.
