Package: git
Version: 1:2.11.0-3
Severity: normal
Hi maintainer!
The `git` package recommends the `rsync` package.
I'm sure this is wrong, because git no longer supports rsync (2016 change).
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/commit/?id=0d0bac67ce3b3f2301702573f6acc100798d7edd
I checked the upstream source. There are references to rsync in git-archimport.
However, git-archimport is split out into a separate package `git-arch`.
The `git-arch` package should surely depend on (not just recommend) rsync,
I think that should be fixed at the same time.

Thanks
Alan

It was missing the colon after "closes" that would make it
automatically close this bug. :)
Closing manually. Thanks for a clean and pleasant patch.
Sincerely,
