So? How should I sync then? Git can *not* sync file by file, while rsync can.

No. Making it *possible* for all users to use git (instead of old cvs+rsync behaviour) is a great thing and you're awesome in making it *possible*. But do not be authoritarian and do not *force* (!) users to "use only git and forget about rsync".

I called you selfish not for doing good things like introducing possibility to use git, but for authoritarian thinking, that all users has as good internet connection (taking that thread) or tech. knowledge (talking prev. threads) as you. They are not. At least, far not always.
