+If \-\-root\-becomes is used, link targets are adjusted if they are prefixed by
+the root path. By default, this is also done on symbolic links, that have a
+target that is prefixed by the root path and they are converted to aboluste
+paths with the prefix removed. However, because symlinks can point across mount
+points, this may actually be intended for some use cases.

+This flag allows changing the default behaviour, so only hard links are
+retargeted.
