What are some arguments/reasonings for that? 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.
