So, that's one vote each for options 1, 2, and 3 ;-)
I agree that the ideal implementation would support HFS+ as well as
netatalk's .AppleDouble scheme, Mac OS X's ._ scheme, and
MacBinary for all the rest. This can certainly be a goal of the
implementation, but personally I am interested in
I would lean toward option "1" for several reasons. Primarily it could probably
inter-operate safely with non-HFS or older versions.
How about a flag that changes the mode to detect named forks and encode them in-line.
These encoded files could be safely synced to non-forked storage destination

As David Feldman wrote recently, rsync looks like it would be very
useful for Mac OS X systems, where there is currently a dearth of
options for backup.
I am looking into using rsync to backup/mirror a few systems, but
there are two changes that I will need to make first, based on two

Rsync looks like a good tool for keeping files synchronized between two
computers, such as a desktop and laptop. However, Mac OS uses a forked
file system, with the second fork storing data critical to some files
(such as applications) as well as type and creator information matching
files up
