I don't think anybody has proposed breaking anything. It sounds like it is already broken, and somebody needs to fix it. Keep in mind that "resources" is a vague term and for some resources either git or rsync can be cheaper. Rsync will tend to require less local disk space than git (unless you try to purge all the history out of the repositories, which of course defeats the goal of having Changelogs). On the other hand, git should require far less disk io and CPU to sync since it doesn't have to rely on stat-ing every file (and if you want rsync to be truly reliable you need to tell it to hash everything which adds a boatload of additional IO - git doesn't rely on mtime). -- Rich
