Default: false +**** rsync-early **** + +Whether to force rsync to run even when we have a valid manifest for a +particular publication point and its nextUpdate time has not yet passed. + +This is an experimental feature, and currently defaults to true, which is the +old behavior (running rsync regardless of whether we have a valid cached +manifest).
