I think it is reasonable to mention that you an use rsync. Though I
agree the other options are "better". Since it ensures data consistency
on the other side. (rsync will copy index files before data files, and
the inventory before the knit data). So interrupting an rsync == broken
branch.
This reminds me, our next format should play a small game with names, so
that things get copied it the right order. (kndx < knit, so we need
knix, or something like that).
I don't know the exact sorting rules for rsync, but it shouldn't be too
hard to figure out.
