Oh, that's interesting.


The man page gives nice examples - it looks a lot simpler than rsync, 
which is nice.

I get confused by all the options rsync offers, although they're 
probably essential to someone's work.



Oh, there have been a couple commits in the past 34 hours, then 3 
months, 7 months, 9-21 months have seen a few, then some 2 years ago, 
then 3 & 5 years ago.

Looks like it's kind of stalled development.  Maybe it's considered 
complete?  The Features and Goals pages are mere stubs, so the project 
doesn't *seem* complete.


I'd welcome a port of an OpenBSD implementation of rsync.
