How does rsync work?

When trying to understand rsync and the rolling checksum I stumbled upon a small python implementation in some self-hosted corner of the web[0], which I have archived on GH[1] (not the author, but things can vanish quickly, as proved by the bzr repo which went poof[2]).

For bzr did you try archive.org? https://web.archive.org/web/20150321194412/https://code.liw....

Ah I see now, I didn't traverse deep enough whem checking.

I don't think you can clone that.

True, but I imagined fetching every file with wget or equivalent and then just using it locally. Doesn't work anyway because the data is not all there.
