10.4: rsync 'inplace' option separates resource forks

Tiger only hintTiger's rsync command is said to "support resource forks properly," but be careful not to use its inplace option. Using the inplace option will make rsync ignore the -E and --extended-attributes options, thus separating resource forks into invisible files. This behavior is not documented in the man pages.
