rsyncing from a compressed tarball.

[Ed Peschko]

All,

I'm working in an environment *very* restricted by space, and need to
sync from that location to another location.

So I'd like to be able to sync from a source that is not a filesystem,
like a compressed tarball.

Is this possible with the --files-from argument (or some other such argument)?

If not, what approach would people suggest in adding it?

thanks much for any support,

ed
