Description Dan Jacobson 2014-09-28 05:59:38 UTC 
On the rsync man page,
mention if always keeping our file's content sorted,
and even adding newlines,
would make things faster,
allowing rsync to only sync the differences.

For now, reading the man page it is _not clear_ if rsync bothers much with the file content.
