Set each attribute distinctively on a file AND a directory at every level of a
>=3-deep tree and verify it per entry after transfer (metadata is applied as a
single-component op on an entry whose parent chain the resolver restructure
rewrites):
metadata-depth -p preserves exact file/dir modes; -t preserves file
mtimes; --chmod=D710,F600 rewrites them.
omit-times -O omits directory times (files still preserved); -J omits
symlink times.
sparse -S preserves a deep file's hole (allocated << size);
--no-sparse fills it.
xattrs-depth -X reproduces a user xattr on every entry (gated on xattr
support).
acls-depth -A reproduces a POSIX ACL on every entry (gated on ACL
support + setfacl/getfacl).
ownership-depth --groupmap and --chown=:GROUP remap the group of every
entry (non-root, to a secondary group); -o/--usermap gated
on root.
All green on master and under --protocol=29/30.
