1 Hi folks...
2
3 I've been thinking about switching from a rsync based tree to a git
4 based one cloning [0]. The main reasons because I would do that is in
5 order to save bandwidth (I've a slow GSM connection in my netbook and
6 I sync two other gentoo boxes from the first one) and maybe time.

8 So here goes the question, Is a git based tree really going to save me
9 an appreciable bandwidth and time on syncing?, Can I keep the same
10 replication functionality rsync gives me to sync my other boxes?
