Hi,

Point is, if you want to read your email on different computers (like one 
desktop and one laptop), you are quite well off managing them with git. Of 
course, you could rsync them from/to the other computer. But rsync is slow 
once you accumulated enough files, since it has to compare the hashes of 
tons of files (or file chunks). Git knows if they have changed.
