## annex-rsync-transport
You can use the `annex-rsync-transport` git configuration setting to choose
whether we run rsync over ssh or rsh. This setting is also used to specify
parameters that git annex will pass to ssh/rsh.
ssh is the default transport; if you'd like to run rsync over rsh, modify your
.git/config to include
annex-rsync-transport = rsh
under the appropriate remote.
To pass parameters to ssh/rsh, include the parameters after "rsh" or
"ssh". For example, to configure ssh to use the private key at
`/path/to/private/key`, specify
annex-rsync-transport = ssh -i /path/to/private/key
Note that environment variables aren't expanded here, so for example, you
cannot specify `-i $HOME/.ssh/private_key`.
