A while back I switched one of my machines sync-type for the gentoo repo from rsync to git using https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/repo/sync/gentoo.git because that machine is behind a firewall that stopped allowing rsync connections.
Is there any advantage (either to me or the Gentoo community) to continue to use rsync and the rsync pool instead of switching the rest of my machines to git? I've been very impressed with the reliability and speed of sync operations using git they never take more than a few seconds. When using rsync, it seems like I regularly used to have to spend time trying different mirrors and hard-wiring one in my config file because the one I (or the pool) had chosen had fallen back to using a Bell-212 modem for its internet connection. Sync operations often used to take many minutes and would sometimes just hang. -- Grant
