Interesting. I'm guessing the PayPal plug-in takes care of everything for you too. And they are using it in two directions since they mentioned they also rsync back the files from
the include path to enable local indexing. The writing I've seen is that you just need to rsync in each direction in 'newer' mode and you get bidirectional. Not clean though.
At any rate, an interesting discussion. The rsync thing hit home for me since I was recently using it when managing deployment of files to my personal web server. And we have rsync on our QNX/BlackBerry targets which we could use for syncing files to.
It's an old solution but I think it has it's place.

Cross posting to the ptp-dev list so the developers can provide more information.
The beauty of the git solution is that you don’t need to know how it works, it just does everything for you.
There is an extension point that allows different sync providers to be used. We had a prototype rsync provider for a while, but it wasn’t being actively developed. If someone want’s to see if it can be resurrected, that would be fine. However, since rsync
is only unidirectional, it is also more complicated to set up to get bi-directional syncing working.

Ah, that makes sense. It's an interesting choice. Maybe that's why people miss it. It's not obvious how it works. Doesn't the index keep growing and growing each time you sync files? Why is it faster
than rsync? I assume you guys have a wiki describing it. Could you share it with the list here? Thanks!
The git use for synchronized projects is entirely independent of git for src code repo.
