It will never help with rsync-2.5.6.tar.gz vs. rsync-2.5.5.tar.gz anyway, since any small change early in the stream will cause the entire file to be encoded differently (side affect of how compression algorithms work).
See the rsyncable patch for gzip which can solve this problem.
Do you know at which version this was included in the gzip release?
