As for rsync, I don't see the point. The HTTP protocol allows random file access.
rsync can more or less efficiently diff two remote files, without transmitting anywhere near the entire file over the network. I suppose this may have been why it was suggested.
There's no need to use rsync to create a diff over the network when both are already available locally.
I don't think anyone was talking about using rsync locally? Actually I'm not sure what anyone was talking about using rsync for. Looking back, I'm not totally sure anyone *was* talking about using rsync as anything other than a historical matter.
