           Summary: --fake-super should set real file u+x if source is
                    executable
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: matt at mattmccutchen.net
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


The --fake-super mode should set u+x on the real file if the source file is
executable.  This would be consistent with Linux permission checking for the
real superuser:

Test case (run as non-root):
touch file
chmod 401 file
rsync-dev -a -M--fake-super file file2
if [ -x file2 ]; then echo "PASS"; else echo "FAIL"; fi
