GitHub - hjmangalam/parsyncfp: follow-on to parsync (parallel rsync) with better startup perf
parsyncfp (pfp) is the offspring of my parsync (more info here) and Ganael LaPlanche's fpart, which collects files based on size or number into chunkfiles which can be fed to rsync on a chunk by chunk basis. This allows pfp to begin transferring files before the complete recursive descent of the source dir is complete. This feature can save many hours of prep time on very large dir trees.
