For all kernel.org trees, just using HTTP instead should do,\nand most of the other GIT repository URLs I noticed use HTTP as well.\nrsync is evil and with packs likely doubly so for general GIT access.\n\n  I will probably remove rsync access support altogether after another\none or two Cogito releases to give this some transition time; in the\nmeantime, cg-pull (cg-update, subsequently) will shout a warning.\n\n  The only big advantage of rsync is that it is probably (I didn't\nmeasure it, but it feels so) faster especially for smaller repositories,\nlarger updates and higher latency links. Hopefully we (I hope Daniel\ngets to it, but I will do it in foreseeable future if he doesn't)\nimprove this too.\n\n  Does anyone have anything on mind what rsync can do and the git-*-pull\ntools can't (or can but a lot worse)?\n\n  Have a nice localtime.timeofday,\n\n-- \n\t\t\t\tPetr \"Pasky\" Baudis\nStuff: http://pasky.or.cz/\n<Espy> be careful, some twit might quote you out of context..\n"}]}
