Subject: [gentoo-user] Is a git based tree going to save me bandwidth and time?
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2010 00:33:42 -0430	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pqy02spd.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)


Hi folks...

I've been thinking about switching from a rsync based tree to a git
based one cloning [0]. The main reasons because I would do that is in
order to save bandwidth (I've a slow GSM connection in my netbook and
I sync two other gentoo boxes from the first one) and maybe time.

So here goes the question, Is a git based tree really going to save me
an appreciable bandwidth and time on syncing?, Can I keep the same
replication functionality rsync gives me to sync my other boxes?
