rsync - Apr 2010 - preserving the DESTINATION permissions, group and owner of the transferred files

I want to use rsync to transfer files from my computer to a remote
Linux system. I want the permissions, group and owner of the
transferred files to retain the settings of the DESTINATION file.

Is this possible with rsync?

The perms (mode) part works well by leaving off --perms (or using
--no-perms), since that leaves the perms of existing files unchanged, even
when updating them.  Sadly, the same is not true for owner and group.  You'd
have to use --inplace and leave off --owner and --group to leave files
owner/group unchanged.
