Is git faster then rsync? I've never done any checks but it'll be
surprising if it will. Another useful feature of rsync is --exclude that
allows some categories to be excluded (for size and speed efficiency),
e.g. my servers don't need kde-* and games-*. Also taking into account
that we use portage tree on embedded devices where again both size and
speed really matters it looks like the answer on your question is
"permanently".
