Yep. This indeed fixes the original bug. Thanks!
However, I disagree on handling an immutable destination file upon update,
specifically when using the --archive option. A naive user would expect a
verbatim one-to-one copy of his files to the destination, including all file
characteristics like time, permissions, etc. For example, I use rsync to make
file system backups to a secondary disk and I want the "schg" flags (e.g. on
mandatory shared libraries) to be copied over cleanly, regardless of an already
existing flag on the destination. In that respect, --perm and --flags currently
follow a different paradigm. Which is a POLA violation IMHO.
