Sorry I haven't looked into this, but atm I just don't have the time.
thanks for the update. personally, atm, i'd love to see just HEAD's mtime (finished?) support rolled into a 'official;' rsync release.
It also seems like any solution will necessarily drop information. osx keeps track of several permissions not present in posix ACLs.
at the very least, if capabilities of an rsync-team's official release for osx were brought up to parity with the *nix versions, then patches for apple's capability could be built on top of that -- rather than overlapping capability/implementation, which iiuc is the current situation. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
