The tests folder contained several largish binary files that slowed
working with CVS to a crawl. I had to split them out into a seperate
project. Unfortunately, this project has not, yet, released any official
pacakge. You can either check it out using cvs, or access it online (it
also contains test quartets to test decryption against, so checking it
out from CVS, if you feel up to it, would be greatly appreciated).

In particular, you can find the online CVS view at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/rsyncrypto/tests/, and you can
download the actual null-gzip file at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/rsyncrypto/tests/nullgzip.
Just mark the file as executeable (it's a bash script) and give it to
the "--gzip" option of rsyncrypto.

Thanks,

Shachar
