Summary: --fake-super should be nestable
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org

The fake-super emulation layer should be nestable, i.e., rsync with
--fake-super should be able to correctly backup and restore a tree that itself
contains fake-super information. For example, after the following commands,
"file4" should have the same privileged attributes as "file":
rsync -aX -M--fake-super file file1
rsync -aX -M--fake-super file1 file2
rsync -aX --fake-super file2 file3
rsync -aX --fake-super file3 file4
One simple way to wrap a fake-super xattr for storing in another fake-super
tree would be to add an extra "rsync." prefix.
Note that symlink munging, rsync's other feature that could be described as a
emulation layer, is nestable.
