[[design/assistant/xmpp]] discusses these problems. Since this seems a basically intractable problem to solve, git-annex will be moving away from XMPP as soon as something better is available. (eg [[design/assistant/telehash]]) + +The best way to use XMPP currently is as a simple signaling mechanism to tell when a push has been made to a git repository. Your ssh server seems to have an encrypted rsync repository on it, so no git repository. If you can put up a git repository someplace both the android and linux machine can access, I think that you'll find it greatly improves the reliability of the syncing. +"""]]
