Whether it's a dependency on rsync or a dependency on git, a new Gentoo machine will need one of them in order to sync.
I can understand mirrors may not want to run git cloning on their infra, that's a fair point as it requires additional setup (afaict). And syncing is technically a separate concern than version control, but if the entire point is to retain a changelog, and we're generating changelogs from git commits, then it seems to me that version control is the correct tool for the job. I'm not advocating for rsync to be done away with, as it has its benefits, but changelogs are logically related to version control. - -- Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWzh2HAAoJEAEkDpRQOeFwL0QP/jf6pL3ZzKwtYYZBVIhe74eE 09R9zeTdnzSi5yyVUi2nVXDogBe6+bafwLDA/dzS9iskhzrznzKAnaUroOtnx6rN 8QVe3ojy9DxhvmnQSPUGEEjMe70kIyGM3Z+enOg59k6VGl97x+f53xvQkj3oZAId W6aGYCi7m0ApsqdLrYoNhcE6toNHrpd/YhzS7bJTnhaNezx523EWzYsk5ej/Vyyt GpjEJMEpiiU3KkjoiVS+sb3SYJ+VneIq7n3mszmw+O/pFbGX76lxoywCVx+P1Z8K 1aGoG9ZcYPij4jQWXdIdB8Rhw+DQF6FIYW3A1aw3hmnQsQFM31tt6V6wJKzWEjO8 xDZ69iIYqQevUHSUanXm/p5BGumF6HOq+DS0A0+gpFz/+FlxULj97eKMotaO0R1v BPIbGXGNASXz62kYG8SJmA6KU8mc622JnZ9dY1XMLzY6vcTM89vbkudZXBq2Wyyc CnbEuC9+1eBrOXOIWTPZ0+8XVaScz9kiBvgeQXYOd8VbgKS+GuFGOjyh1JWZdPyY LAyarpAVmhUpRwBWw3oXeKUm50h2WXiBQWJnELYBWO9sNG7Z4g1u3QAY5zzYuYJr VdphdxUzRtsMLI86oP/Lr7Hw5v3wMhebwsPeuvHtebU63A4noGpWyeokuZ9tfrjS ecd156K/a1QezkWwAY0D =Bw// -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
