"Transferred" has a particular meaning to rsync which involves
creating the
data for a file.  However, stats were improved in 3.1.0 (notice that the
transferred count was further qualified to say "regular files"):

Number of files: 7 (reg: 3, dir: 1, link: 3)
Number of created files: 7 (reg: 3, dir: 1, link: 3)
Number of deleted files: 0
Number of regular files transferred: 3
[...]

Thus, symlinks will now be under the created-files stat.

Yes, I updated since then, but symlinks are not counted anywhere. Thus making a
system that rely on `--dry-run --stats -v |grep transferred` would fail if only
symlinks are changed.

As my paste shows, they are counted in the created files.  They aren't
counted
in the updated regular files since they aren't regular files.
