OK, that makes sense. Though I'll reiterate that if there was a way to provide correct results, I would be happy to at least attempt to do so. It makes a lot of sense to do it immediately after new content has been downloaded, but of course that might mean a lot of hosts hammering the server immediately after a new big content push. Surely it has to be more efficient to make the client do the work to create a nice compressed payload instead of parsing rsync directory listings.
