This is typically not a win for rsync, so no need to enable it.
But, it makes this interoperate with the [[directory]] special remote.
The `annex-rsync-options` git configuration setting can be used to pass
parameters to rsync.
The `remote.name.annex-rsync-options` git configuration setting can be used
to pass parameters to rsync. To pass parameters to rsync only when it's
downloading and uploading, use `remote.name.annex-rsync-download-options`
and `remote.name.annex-rsync-upload-options`

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

ssh is the default transport; if you'd like to run rsync over rsh:
annex-rsync-transport = rsh
under the appropriate remote.
git config remote.name.annex-rsync-transport rsh
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
`/path/to/private/key`:
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`.
git config renote.name.annex-rsync-transport "ssh -i /path/to/private/key"
