Description Caleb Cushing 2009-03-05 22:56:52 UTC

improve the consistency of how various ways of syncing are initated, to easily allow them to be functionalized later. to allow protocols that can operate with the same uri (e.g. git supports rsync://). avoid autodetection.

first 3 supported SYNC_METHOD="" 

rsync, git, cvs

an external method which will allow a user to specify a custom command should also be added. other methods may also be desirable.

per convo w/ zmedico

Reproducible: Always
