Thank you.
That's a good first step.

Hmmm...
I applied the patch and tried to build/compile. No go:
copy.c: In function 'copy_xattr_filter':
copy.c:191: warning: implicit declaration of function 'attr_copy_action'
copy.c:192: error: 'ATTR_ACTION_SKIP' undeclared (first use in this function)
copy.c:192: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
copy.c:192: error: for each function it appears in.)
copy.c:194: error: 'ATTR_ACTION_PERMISSIONS' undeclared (first use in this
function)
So maybe another patch is required?
Would you like to help?
Things that would expedite this:
- ChangeLog entries
- as many tests as possible, but even just one or two would be a good start.
even some simple demonstrations with textual suggestions
for what to check for in the way of results or effects.
