Summary: Hide/protect filtering of xattrs by name
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: core

Users who use xattrs for many different purposes are likely to want to preserve
some xattrs but not others. Thus, it would be nice to have a name-based
hide/protect filtering system for xattrs just like the ones for files. Filters
could be specified with an --xattr-filter option; I see no need to add
corresponding syntactic-sugary --xattr-{in,ex}clude{,-from} options.
For example, if src/ has been indexed by Beagle and I want to copy it to dest/,
copying over all xattrs except the Beagle ones, I could run:
rsync -aX --xattr-filter='H user.Beagle.*' src/ dest/
