Suggested feature:

Options to provide fine-grained control over the global configuration, independent of what rdiff-backup automagically learns in fs_abilities.py.

For example:

"--no-write-acls" to not write the ACLs on the files on the destination (only write to metadata) See this mailing list post for an example: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2008-06/msg00031.html

"--force-acls" or "--force-eas" to force rdiff-backup into using ACLs and EAs (assuming that it can load the posix1e and pyxattr modules), which would override the fs_abilities tests. See this Debian bug for an example: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487763
