Re: [PATCH] Add NO_RSYNC to allow building without rsync

This is similar to NO_CURL.

I am not sure if this is a good change.

We link with libcurl so supporting NO_CURL makes sense for an environment
without the library, but for rsync transport we just spawn it as a
separate process.  The net effect on a machine without rsync installed is
the same (you cannot use rsync transport), but you can later choose to
install rsync and things will start working without recompiling git.

I came about this because SCO OpenServer doesnt' have mkdtemp.  But I never use
rsync, so making it optional was an easy fix.

Perhaps "make NO_MKDTEMP=YesPlease" is a much better fix for your
particular environment?

The patch is seriously whitespace damaged, in any case.
