I agree that rsync being stateless is a good thing. I have found it very
reliable and predictable for years. I certainly wouldn't change to unison
(which apparently is currently not maintained) just to speed up the file
list transfer.
Delta-transfer of the file list seems to make good sense for
Thanks for that. Doesn't the delta-transfer algorithm compare the files
on sender and receiver? For the file list, we would only need compare the
new file list with the last one on the sender (it would be a simple matter
to check that the receiver's file list is still valid with a checksum).

Yes, protocol 30 has several improvements that reduce the number of
bytes sent over the wire in addition to its incremental recursion mode.
The latter is slightly less byte-effic

Not that I know of. (Wayne, please correct me if necessary.)

Are you thinking of incremental recursion? It interleaves file list
and file data transmission but does not decrease the total amount of
file-list data sent.

Perhaps a more natural approach is to use the delta-transfer algorithm
to send the file list. Jamie Lokie
