If you really use rsync/webrsync and not git, this is unlikely: |
| 7 |
The file containing this line (metadata/layout.conf) should be |
| 8 |
overridden at every rsync (unless you took special measures, |
| 9 |
but this was certainly never recommended). |

It is not about syncing but about security (checksums with |
| 15 |
signatures should safe you from MITM and even compromised |
| 16 |
servers). Thin-manifests was only meant for git, because git |
| 17 |
already contains checksums ('though only less secure sha1, |
| 18 |
but that's a different story), so it was decided that no |
| 19 |
duplicate checksums are needed for git. |

For *rsync* the situation is different. |
