Well... I realize that I should put some benchmark here, however
I thought this is just a common sense. If you ever used git, you should
know that e.g. if almost nothing has changed on remote (regular update),
sync time will approach zero, but rsync always needs to iterate through
all ebuilds to check if each file doesn't change separately.
Funtoo was already mentioned; team of Calculate Linux reports that
after they switched to git for portage syncing, speed increased significantly.

If you used git you should know that "bloat" is not significant. It's not SVN :)

Sorry, I haven't thought of it. Is there upgrade path from rsync btw?
