bf(--perms) option is off and use bf(--chmod=ugo=rwX) (which ensures that
all non-masked bits get enabled). If you'd care to make this latter
behavior easier to type, you could define a popt alias for it, such as
-putting this line in the file ~/.popt (this defines the bf(-s) option,
+putting this line in the file ~/.popt (the following defines the bf(-Z) option,
and includes --no-g to use the default group of the destination dir):
-quote(tt( rsync alias -s --no-p --no-g --chmod=ugo=rwX))
+quote(tt( rsync alias -Z --no-p --no-g --chmod=ugo=rwX))
You could then use this new option in a command such as this one:
-quote(tt( rsync -asv src/ dest/))
+quote(tt( rsync -avZ src/ dest/))
-(Caveat: make sure that bf(-a) does not follow bf(-s), or it will re-enable
-the "--no-*" options.)
+(Caveat: make sure that bf(-a) does not follow bf(-Z), or it will re-enable

The preservation of the destination's setgid bit on newly-created
directories when bf(--perms) is off was added in rsync 2.6.7. Older rsync
