It is fairly simple to compare the timestamps in the repomd.xml files.
If the timestamps are older than the master, then the mirror is
out-of-date. This doesn't help with mirrors which are in the middle
of syncing or had a failure. Mirrors could use the rsync
--delay-updates option to make the updates more atomic.
This does not provide the mirroring trace (which I think would be very
nice), it also says nothing about whether or not the rest of the files
have been mirrored or only the repomd.xml file.
