This could be taken to mean that there was a time when "none" was the
default destination file owner if the source owner was not recognised
on the destination host, and that none of the currently in use tools
manifest this behaviour any more.
The reason I'm being pedantic, is that I'd like to be sure that this
behaviour is not something hidden in the file handling somewhere that
will return to haunt those of us who are not aware of it. If it is,
then it would be good to have it documented.
