The perms (mode) part works well by leaving off --perms (or using
--no-perms), since that leaves the perms of existing files unchanged, even
when updating them.  Sadly, the same is not true for owner and group.  You'd
have to use --inplace and leave off --owner and --group to leave files
owner/group unchanged.
