Do you plan to support not only tar, but also rsync based copy about drone-cache HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @vtolstov and thanks for reaching out.

Can you describe what the problem is that you are currently experiencing? i.e. is drone-cache not working for you at all, or are builds slow, are what are you experiencing?

Also what file size are we talking about here? 100 MB? 500MB? 1GB?

I have big dvd iso files that needs to be cached.
Pack 4-6 this files to tar not needed, So i simple need rsync

@vtolstov I definitely get the use case, unfortunately, it's not in our plans in near future. However, we had other reported issues about uploading large files (#55), we could consider this approach if large files become a big problem.

Again, that being said if you are willing to bite the bullet and work on this, as long as we agree on a design and come up with an API that won't break existing behaviour, I'm ok with it. Please go ahead. I'm happy to help with implementation and review.

We just discussed this issue internally and decided that we won't implement the requested rsync based copy as it would move drone-cache away from its core purpose.

Thanks for the idea though and please keep contributing if you like drone-cache :)
