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?
