Document Python/external-rsync backend differences (#20)
* Document Python/external-rsync backend differences - Note that mixing --external-rsync (which can recreate device/socket entries via --archive's -D) with the default Python hardlink-forward step is unsafe: _recursive_hardlink() only understands files, symlinks, and directories and errors on anything else. - Note that --dry-run is I/O-free with --external-rsync but still fully copies into a throwaway staging directory with the Python backend, though neither leaves a lasting change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Clarify external-rsync dry-run description Copilot review feedback on PR #20: rsync's --dry-run still reads and stats source files to compute what would change, it just avoids writing to the destination - "performs no I/O" overstated that.
