It looks like this bug has gathered quite a bit of attention since it
was first filed, so let me set some expectations here.

The trouble with patching Ubuntu is that then we're on the hook for
maintaining those patches indefinitely. This can cause a great deal of
pain if future upstream refactorings mean that the patches need
substantial rework, or if upstream decide to implement something very
similar but with subtly different semantics.

I suggest that to make progress you petition upstream to get this
feature landed upstream directly.

> Am I correct in the assumption that this has not been done or
integrated in rsync in any form(s) at this time?

I've not looked, sorry. Someone will have to dig through sources and
commit logs and/or release notes and manpages to determine that.
