We should ask hpa what he needs for kernel.org. Ideally kernel.org probably wants <something> that facilitates listening to <something> for a list of files being changed. That would greatly speed up the robots, and possibly rsync-like activities too.

I've talked to some people who've hooked inotify into rsync

I noticed that select() is not working on real files. Could inotify be used to fix select()?

Non-blocking file I/O is an open issue.

AIO is probably a better path.
