There's not only CVS... You can use "rsync"...

If you make it expire once a day, daedalus will end up refetching the entire
website every day (shuvload of HTTP requests, unless you don't use GZIP as a
filter, all your content will be passed on the wire uncompressed - and I
don't know how to deal GZIP compression between server and proxy and
differently between proxy and client)...
Use "rsync". It works, it's nice, it compresses all content, it's
one-connection per a number of files, it doesn't have problems with
added/removed directories and or content, and it transfer _only_ what has
changed between the server and the client (so, the "expiry" of a document
gets set only when that document is actually _changed_)...
