It does seem to be sending out a confusing message to us users too, since an initial clone of Linus's tree with rsync is on my machine 10x faster than an http clone, so it seems to be sending out something of a confused/confusing message re: rsync.
Am I right in thinking it's because rsync didn't originally have pack support, but now it does, Petr has simply forgotten to deprecate the deprecation message?
Kind Regards,
