14 I'm +1 for killing rsync and having everyone use Git. With --shallow
15 clones for folks who don't care about the history, and deep clones for
16 those who do (and you can change your mind both ways), I think
17 everyone gets what they want without messing around with a Git → rsync
18 conversion layer. Of course, it would be nice if the CSV → Git
19 migration added any ChangeLog notes to the associated commit message
20 to avoid losing information, but I imagine it would be hard to
21 automate that and still get readable commit messages ;).
22
23 I don't see any benefit to using rsync vs. a shallow clone as the
24 transmission protocol.

26 Cheers,
