1 What's up with md5-cache?
2
3 Every syn has to pull the entire md5-cache hierarchy over again, as if
4 some daemon re-creates every file every day, rather than only re-writing
5 those files which need updates and adding/removing those which need that.
6
7 Even if only the files metatdata changes, that still adds a significant
8 cost to an rsync.
9
10 It is important that md5-cache files which do not require change be left
11 alone.
12
13 Not everyone has gobs of network bandwidth available.
