Linus avoided rsync in favor of http in 'git' because he thinks rsync is inherently unreliable. I have *no* idea if he is right or wrong in his opinions, but I figure you guys will favor me with your own opinions on the subject.
Possibly for transferring the git objects. They never change, so rsync is not efficient. RCS files do change, so just transferring deltas saves a lot. Additionally, the http transport in git is quite dumb and needs a pre-created file to help the download. cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \
