Git to RSYNC

Changes made to the tree are propagated to the users in stages:

Developer commits to local Git clone and pushes to central remote Git repository. Commits and pushes are signed using Git mechanisms based on GPG.
Staging box syncs from central Git repository, generates the metadata cache, ChangeLogs and signed Manifests from Git history.
rsync1 syncs from the staging box.
Public rsync servers sync from rsync1.
Users sync from the public rsync servers.
