hey folks,
i realise i asked this once before but i didn't express just quite how
_many_ possibilities and options there are if rsync has a VFS plugin
(for both input and output).
http://advogato.org/article/974.html lists just _some_ of the possibilities
which include synchronisation of ODT documents in a live peer-to-peer "shared"
document environment (!! yes, believe it or not!) by treating the XML
structure itself as the "filesystem" :)

I suggested something similar:

This is a really cool idea and I would like to see such a tool built in
the future, but I really doubt that it will happen as part of the rsync
project.
