rsync - Jul 2007 - (Rsync 3.0) acls for OS X

What's the status of acl support for OS X? What needs to be done?

The xattr support works nicely; you can try it out by moving a few
"text clippings" back and forth from HFS+ to ext3 (say) with and
without the -X switch set. Or move them locally that way, for that
matter. (Text clippings are _all_ resource fork).

What is needed is working ACL functions.  The posix ones are broken
(e.g. acl_get_entry() has completely wrong return values), and even if I
work around that, I can't find any way to interpret the ACLs enough to
figure out the user/group IDs involved along with the access bits.  We
need code that can list and set the ACLs (even if it uses OS X specific
routines).
