I've updated the Cygwin 1.7 version of rsync to 3.0.6-1.

rsync is a file transfer program. rsync uses the 'rsync algorithm' which
provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does
this by sending just the differences in the files across the link,
without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends
of the link beforehand.

This release include (experimental) support for xattr which should work
correctly on SMB shares and will work on NTFS drives too from the next
release of cygwin.

If you're not sure what version do you have you can
use the following command to both check version number
and integrity of the install:
% cygcheck -c rsync
