Thanks for the tip.  :-)


So, rsync can copy hard links:

2017-03-14 19:33:10 dpchrist@jesse ~/sandbox/rsync
$ cat hard-link
#!/bin/sh
# Test 'rsync -a' and hard links
# $Id: hard-link,v 1.3 2017/03/15 02:32:08 dpchrist Exp $

mkdir hard-link-1
mkdir hard-link-2
echo "hello, world!" > hard-link-1/hello.txt
ln hard-link-1/hello.txt hard-link-1/link-1.txt
ln hard-link-1/hello.txt hard-link-1/link-2.txt
ln hard-link-1/hello.txt hard-link-1/link-3.txt
ln hard-link-1/hello.txt hard-link-1/link-4.txt
ls -li hard-link-1/*
du -b hard-link-1/*
rsync -a -H hard-link-1/ hard-link-2
ls -li hard-link-2/*
du -b hard-link-2/*
rm -rf hard-link-1
rm -rf hard-link-2

The test above indicates that hard links created by rsync with the -H 
option point to files within the destination tree.
