I have included the patch to have rsync temporarily tweak dirs with u+r and u+x
for a non-root receiver, however if a parent dir lacks u+x, any fudged
permissions inside subdirs of that directory won't get fixed, and indeed, an
incremental recursion copy can tweak the parent dir's permissions back to u-x
too soon for the copy to even complete (the latter of which you can work around
via --no-inc-recursive because the directory-permission cleanup all happens at
the end with --no-i-r).  I'll leave this open pending contemplations of a
fuller fix, but it may just be that we don't fully support non u+x hierarchies
for non-root transfers.
