I see this -avz incantation mentioned everytime when rsync is involved. But, is the -z part (compression) really necessary knowing that we're dealing with an already compressed tree? Doesn't it put additional strain on the rsync server without any benefit in this case? Or I might be too ignorant and not understand some internals well, but then... I would like to know the reason. :) Regards, -- Zlatko - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
