--rsyncable patch
What does this patch do - what is "--rsyncable" ? If (and only if) --rsyncable is specified, then the compression algorithm changes to preserve rsync's block boundaries on compressed data. This leads to ~1% degradation in the size of the compressed text, but can lead to dramatic improvements when the compressed text is rsync'd. Try a google search on "gzip.rsync.patch2" for details, there's a talk given at a linux conference in Oz by Rusty Russell, more. It was added in 1.3.2-3. It's just been removed, but that's a separate issue :). |
