Git vs rsync when resource fork must be preserved

I have some ancient files that I need to share between Macs. There are over 100,000 of them. I need to keep the directory containing these files in sync. I thought Git would be a good solution, and it was, until I discovered that Git has stripped the resource fork off of every file on the remote machine(s). So now I'm looking for another solution. Considering **rsync** but thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has experience with old **Mac OS Classic** files in a modern **Mac OS X** environment.
