Hi Alan,

I'm sure this is wrong, because git no longer supports rsync (2016 change).

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.
Good catch. Thank you.
Patches welcome. I also notice that the URL mentioned in README.source
uses a self-signed certificate --- I better fix that, too. You can get
the source at git://repo.or.cz/git/debian.git, branch debian-sid.
If you don't provide a patch, that's fine and I'll still fix it --- a
patch is just faster. :)
Thanks,
Jonathan
I don't think I've tried this before, I hope the debian/changelog entry
I wrote makes sense. (See previous email).
Thanks
Alan
