Sounds good.

Do you use file-level rsync+ssh? Or rsync+ssh with git?

When I try a "git clone rsync+ssh://foo.bar.com/var/git/bar", I get a "fatal: I don't handle protocol 'rsync+ssh'" error.

I know git supports the rsync protocol, but I don't think installing an rsync server and using bare rsync will be an option in this case.

Thanks again,
