f patch files or .xd files for a couple of old
revs per packages against the uncompressed contents of packages to allow small
changes to packages to be quick. Or perhaps implement this as patch packages,
which are a special .deb that only contain the changed files and upgrade the

different kind of file format that you
might ever want to rsync, to make it rsync friendly?
Surely it makes more sense to make rsync able to more efficiently deal with
different formats easily.

You can probably assume that -c, -x, -f and -v behave the same across
implementations (modern implementations, anyway). That's about all, and

because the thing it does is a complex task doesn't mean

with the additional benefit of not annoying this mailing-list.
