I guess the "best" solution is to use LVM atomic snapshots, and only
allow rsync off the atomic snapshot. That way any particular rsync
session would always be consistent. That's a *HUGE* amount of work,
though, and still doesn't solve the mirrors issue -- I don't control
what the mirrors run. On the other hand, I don't know how many mirror
sites actually mirror /pub/scm since it's not a requirement.
BTW, is rsync.kernel.org::pub/scm/linux/kernel/bkcvs currently being fed with new data? I don't get any updates.
