When rsync 3.0.6 copies files with HFS+ File Compression, the new
extended attribute decmpfs is not preserved, and the UF_COMPRESSED
flag is not set on the destination and the destination file is not
compressed.
I examined the destination file as described in ars technica (with ls
and xattr from a 10.5 Leopard boot), and the compressed data is moved
from the resource fork to the data fork, and the extended attributes
'@' are removed from the file.
As far as I know, only ditto in 10.6 can handle HFS+ File
Compression. (I even tested a 'clone' with disk utility (file copy,
not block), and it also failed (block copy, of course works).

What kind of special treatment from rsync were you expecting? I read
http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2009/08/mac-os-x-10-6.ars/3 , and
as far as I can tell, the compression is handled entirely by the
filesystem with no intervention from applications needed.

Are there any patches (or planned updates) to rsync v3.0.6 to handle
the HFS+ File Compression that Apple introduced with Snow Leopard?
