As I reported a while back rsync doesn't handle metadata (permissions and ownership) in dryrun mode.
I offered to make a patch and that offer still stands. I didn't have the time for it until now and want to pick it up again. I had some ugly hack back then but I want to redo it in a clean way. I would like some input on my thoughts. IMHO, it would be ideally if the check for dry_run would be pushed down as far as possible. That would be in the syscall wrapper functions if I am correct. If that is not possible, then it is fine with me. Please let me know and I will create the appropriate patch.
