+ Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool for
+ both remote and local files.
+
+ Rsync uses a delta-transfer algorithm which provides a very fast method
+ for bringing remote files into sync.  It does this by sending just the
+ differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both
+ sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.  At
+ first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs
+ between two files normally requires local access to both files."
