Well, you at least to download rawhide itself anew. But yes, if you
didn't mirror Extras yet, then you now are forces to...
/me mirrors rawhide (and not Extras) in two places and fears the merged

This tells rsync to look for hard-linked files in the

files in the transfer are treated as though they
were separate files.
Note that rsync can only detect hard links if both parts
of the link are in the list of files being sent.
