Description:   Tiger's rsync w/ HFS+ support (patched) (2.6.3-5)
From http://lartmaker.nl/rsync/: Many files on HFS+, the Mac's most common file system, have metadata. This is partly a leftover from the past (resource forks), and partly a new development (ACLs, extended attributes). Plain rsync doesn't (yet) cope with this metadata. Since OS X 10.4 (aka Tiger) the MacOS ships with a modified version of rsync. [sic] An added option, -E, enables the transfer of extended attributes. This is done by encapsulating the resource fork, Finder data et al in a synthetic file which is added to the rsync transfer list. The name of this file is formed by prepending ._ to the name of the original file, a technique which is also used when copying data from HFS+ partitions to non-Apple file systems such as NFS mounts. It may not be pretty or foolproof (what happens when both foo and ._foo exist?), but at least it's documented by Apple and not likely to change in the very near future. This rsync derivative is based on rsync-2.6.3. See also: http://www.opensource.apple.com/apsl/ http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/apsl.html
