> Wishlist: tmux, emacs, vi, netcat, shell option for vi-mode, rc-file with preferences, ncurses library, something simpler than curses, zip and unzip. First, let's have a copy tool with delta-sync support. I can't believe I have to use a cygwin-based rsync to quickly update my backups throughout the day (currently: shut down Virtualbox dev VM, rsync changes, start VM). I understand the MS way to do it is DSFR, but for a single developer workstation that's overkill.

Why not use robocopy?
- pbowyer 11y ago
  AFAIK robocopy doesn't do delta-sync of file contents, only of a group of files. So if I want to copy a 50GB file where 10MB has changed, it'll still copy the whole 50GB again. I would love to be wrong.
