#AARSYNC
_like rsync but with an eye-patch_
## Proper rsync for Windows.
**Why is this not a thing?**
This is based on the StreamBreaker work by Clay Borkholm over at [codeproject.org](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/801608/Using-a-rolling-hash-to-break-up-binary-files).
And inspired by this fantastic [whitepaper](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tr-2006-157.pdf)
from Microsoft Research.
The goals are to provide the functionality of rsync but use the built-in
remote session facilities in PowerShell for network communication.
