Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad to see that different people see the
issue
differently. As a followup question, what would you expect this to do:
rsync --perms --chmod g+rX -M--fake-super src dst
I would expect it to store the original permissions in the xattr, while
modifying the real file mode according to the chmod.

Permissions don't require super. Any place where permissions can't be
stored certainly can't handle xattrs either. So, I wouldn't expect
--fake-super to affect --perms at all.

For me, this command means that rsync should save the original
perms in the
xattr, and leave the real file mode to the umask default.
Currently it also
modifies the real file mode, and there is no way to store something
different ...
