I guess there are three choices:
1) No chown, just leave files with default ownership
2) chown to replicate the source directory's permissions
3) chown every file to a specific user
I'm still a bit unclear on which of these is needed when, and if there
is a way to tell automatically. Right now (in cvs) the policy is to
go with 1) unless the writing side is root and --windows-mode has not
been specified. But apparently this is bad for cygwin.
Anyway, are you suggesting 3)? When 3 is necessary, maybe
rdiff-backup could just be run owned by the user we want to own
everything. Then 1) would have the same effect as 3).
