[Dirvish] rsync 3.0, any experience with it for dirvish?

[Jon Radel]

Following the security advisories and upgrading some of my servers which
were getting a bit stale, have called my attention to the relatively new
rysnc 3.0, which has some interesting sounding new features.  From the
"Enhancements" section of
http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-3.0.0-NEWS I find

    - Added the --acls (-A) option to preserve Access Control Lists.
This is
      an improved version of the prior patch that was available, and it even
      supports OS X ACLs.  If you need to have backward compatibility
with old,
      ACL-patched versions of rsync, apply the acls.diff file from the
patches
      dir.

    - Added the --xattrs (-X) option to preserve extended attributes.
This is
      an improved version of the prior patch that was available, and it even
      supports OS X xattrs (which includes their resource fork data).
If you
      need to have backward compatibility with old, xattr-patched
versions of
      rsync, apply the xattrs.diff file from the patches dir.

    - Added the --fake-super option that allows a non-super user to preserve
      all attributes of a file by using a special extended-attribute idiom.
      It even supports the storing of foreign ACL data on your backup
server.
      There is also an analogous "fake super" parameter for an rsync daemon.

to sound quite interesting.  However, before I go charging off and
messing with my backups, I was going to ask if anyone had any experience
with using 3.0 on either, or both, ends of their rsync sessions.

Thanks.
