- you want a repeatable machine-oriented sync primitive rather than an ad hoc migration script
- you need clearer control over mapping, pruning, force rules, and relay behavior than generic shell glue usually provides

Compared to a service that keeps persistent local clones, `git-sync` is the better fit when:

- relay is common enough that streaming source-to-target is the normal case
- avoiding persistent local repo storage is an operational advantage
- remote-to-remote efficiency matters more than full local Git generality

If you need arbitrary complex reconciliation through one always-warm local full-state model, a local-clone service is still the more general tool.

The command surface is:

- `git-sync probe`: inspect a source remote, and optionally a target remote
