A few things:
* to the grandparent, rsync is awesome, but comparing it to version control is comparing apples to orangutans.

Edit: some reference reading. If it’s not already integral to your workflow, get familiar with distributed source control - you’re unlikely to regret it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_version_control
