[RFC] An rsync friendly gzip
Hi,
I've heard about this idea for a while now and I've talked
to Andrew Tridgell about it and so finally I got around to
writing a very simple version to do some (simple) tests on it.
Full results are at:
http://cupid.suninternet.com/~kleptog/rgzip.html
Source code is at:
http://cupid.suninternet.com/~kleptog/rgzip.c
Summary:
1. Currently a bit slow
2. Currently increases compressed size by around 3%
3. For small changes in the source, can reduce download
by over 95%.
