If the timestamps are the same then rsync with -a should just fix the
ownerships and permissions.
If the timestamps are not the same then you could do it with getfacl
and setfacl as they can use a text file as an intermediary however
your next question is going to be what to do about the timestamps.
Which generally means resorting to --size-only or just letting rsync
re-hash the data.
