Full mirror sync in that script uses these rsync options:
-rptLv --delete-after --delay-updates

Per-repository sync uses these rsync options:
-rptlv --safe-links --delete-after --delay-updates

>From rsync --help:
 -l, --links                 copy symlinks as symlinks
 -L, --copy-links            transform symlink into referent file/dir
     --safe-links            ignore symlinks that point outside the source tree

So if I understood correctly we should change -L to -l
and remove --safe-links which is what I'll do now on the wiki.
