Matt:  I've added your various foundational patches plus some changes of my
own, and then regenerated your final commit as a patch:

http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=rsync.git/patches.git;a=history;f=filter-attribute-mods.diff

I'm thinking that, before I apply this patch, I would like some way to allow
users to avoid unintended chown/chmod items in the merge files.  One possible
solution:

Add a trust (t) modifier for the merge-file filter rules that will mark the
file as trusted.  Any chown/chmod rules that are found in a non-trusted file
would output a warning and skip the rule.  Any merge-file rule (per-dir or not)
defaults to having untrusted rules unless it is marked as trusted (even if it
comes from a trusted source).

All command-line filter options would get processed with the internal
"trusted-source" flag, so direct-on-the-command-line chown/chmod filter rules
would all work.

Thoughts?
