I don't think we do.
Grepping for rsync in t/, it is mentioned in three places:
1. In t1509, we use it, but that test script does not run unless you
set a bunch of environment variables to enable it.
2. In a sample patch for t4100. Obviously this one doesn't execute. :)
3. In t5500, to test "rsync:" protocol supported. This is behind a
check that we can run rsync at all (though it does not properly use
prereqs or use the normal "skip" procedure).

I was assuming that the "-P" in the original had some purpose. My "cp
-r" does not seem to dereference symlinks, but maybe there is something
I am missing.
