Should EnderChest support syncing via git instead of rsync? #30

... or even just use git as the default?

Pros:

versioning built-in
easy flagging of file conflicts
provides conflict resolution suggestions
better cross-platform python API

Cons:

significantly larger footprint, especially when synchronizing world saves
git merge conflicts aren't exactly fun or beginner-friendly to resolve...
pretty sure rsync is significantly faster at synchronizing files, especially large ones

did I mean PyGithub? Because I think that's just for github.

I do think that syncing with git could be pretty cool, especially since it looks like running commands with Popen still allows them to be interactive (read: giving the ability to add a commit message).

This would also be my foot in the door to incorporating https://github.com/OpenBagTwo/AngerLocalBeehive/issues/2
