That are great news. IMHO tweaking the xattr-related options would be
good. The portablity problems even between different linux kernel
versions of File capatibilies lead me to the point that I'd like to
archive only user.* xattrs, and security.* xattrs iff a specific xattr
handler is available (e. g. for ACLs we have one, and for Capabilities
there is my patch available for handling them).
So adjusting the options would be good, perhaps
--acls Will archive .what it currently does
--acls=user Only user.*
--acls=wellknown Only user..*, security.*.
--acls=all Will archive all acls, should imply acls-include.
Those being handled separately should not being archived as xattr
(extracting them might overwrite a correctly restored entry
by a wrong one, e. g. UIDs changed).
Gven that is point has not been discussed in public, my patch does not
propose a ready to use options handling.
