does rsync support acl and xattr?

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

Does rsync support acl and xattr (as with acl and user_xattr mount options)?

I saw some acl patches for rsync, so probably it's not officially 
blessed yet.

However, I didn't see any xattr patches - although some talks about it 
on the list go back into year 2003.


So how it is with support for these?

If I backup a Samba server, which has a filesystem mounted with 
acl,user_xattr (with the newset version of rsync), to another server, 
also with acl,user_xattr filesystem - will I loose acl and xattr attributes?
