The RH binaries use the ACL patch for backward compatibility with previous
version of patched rsync

------- Comment #2 from wayned@samba.org  2008-06-08 22:55 CST -------
This is now fixed in the git repository.

This bug could also affect runs that did not use --link-dest:

If a file was transferred w/o any xattr changes, and a later file needed to
update its xattrs to be the same as the earlier file, the receiver and the
generator had different ideas about what was still abbreviated (and the
receiver died with an error).

Thanks for the helpful test case!

I just tried a build from git.  It looks like xattr are not being copied at all
now...

# rsync -aXHSA --delete
--link-dest=/media/backups/hartnell.local/DellPrecision490/Fedora9/200806101037.dir
/dev/shm/lvbackup/src/.
/media/backups/hartnell.local/DellPrecision490/Fedora9/200806101248.dir/.

I would reopen this, but it looks like I don't have sufficient privilege.

For a simple test case:

sudo mkdir /var2
sudo rsync -aX --link-dest=/var /var/. /var2/.
ls -laZ /var2

(Note that the immediately prior comments about the bug not being fixed were
actually a different, old bug that was fixed in bug 5538.)
