Interesting thought here...
I want to use rsync to generate diffs between two files on two boxes and
then upload the diffs only to a web server. Something like:
rsync foo:foofile bar:foofile > foofile.rdiff
which doesn't work. Of course, I could use diff and patch but I'd be
dealing with more than one file. What I'd like to be able to do is to push
the rsync *stream* into a single file and then push that file back into
rsync at the eventual (offline) destination. I could create a tar, rsync -b
that, create a diff with the backup (-b switch) and patch the diff back into
a tar at the other end.
There's gotta be a better way!
