rsync itself does all of that, and it's pretty efficient at it. Oh - I see, your optimisation is to declare a hash of the top-level directory and exchange that first, and only recurse if they differ (like git does). Hmmm. Wouldn't that be a good enhancement to rsync itself? Perhaps there are a few such patches to rsync in existence already...? m _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
