I am on rsync version 3.2.7 protocol version 31, currently on an Arch
Linux.
The following seems I would expect to copy the contents of 'a' to 'c', based
on my understanding of the the advice of `man rsync`:
-----
mkdir a b c
touch a/hello
rsync -M--fake-super -a a/ b/
rsync --super -M--fake-super -a b/ c/
-----
Instead I see 'c' unchanged, and a garbage directory created with the
expected contents in the local directory:
---
~/tmp $ ls
''$'\001' a b c
~/tmp $ ls -la *
''$'\001':
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 zachary users 4096 Jul 15 02:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 zachary users 4096 Jul 15 02:10 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 zachary users 0 Jul 15 02:10 hello

I'm running into this as a blocking problem restoring a backup previously
made with -M--fake-super. Note, this always writes the garbage directory into
the current directory, even if it is on a different filesystem than the
source, destination, and (/tmp or -T).
I'm on a live USB trying to restore my root disk. Please advise, thanks!
