At the extreme of all ChangeLog moved in old there are 10371 more files in the tree, 25 MB less to check and to transfer (in case all the Changelogs are modified at the same time). In a more general scenario, only about 1300 Changelogs need to be transferred in ChangeLog.old, Leaving The total size of the Changelogs to about 18 MB instead of 25, with about 6 MB in ChangeLog.old (assuming no duplicated data). The Total number of ChangeLog* raise to 10371[norm] + 1365[.old] = 11736 There is a overhead for user that not use rsync exclude and a noticeable gain for user that instead exclude ChangeLog.old . -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
