So, this is not exactly related to rsync, but I've recently realized
that amazon S3 is an excellent host for ostree repositories. It doesn't
support rsync, but there is a tool (aws s3 sync) that is very similar.
I sync my repo with:

  aws s3 sync /my/local/repo s3://my-bucket/the-repo)

This is not *quite* safe in the same sense that a regular rsync is, but
its *almost* safe and could be made so with a bit more scripting.

The interesting thing though is that S3 *does* support uploads, so we
*could* make an "ostree push" operation that works for it. Is anyone
interested in looking at this?
