If you're serious about not using CVS (and I've used it, I understand why
you might be :), may I suggest Perforce? It's a commercial product but it is
free for use on open-source projects. The only complication would be you'd
need to find a server to host it. I can say definitively that it ROCKS.
I, too, was disappointed with rsync's performance when no changes were
required (23 minutes to verify that a system of about 3200 files was
identical). I wrote a little client/server python app which does the
verification, and then hands rsync the list of files to update. This reduced
the optimal
I was at first, but then removed it. The results were still insufficiently
fast.
Were you using the -c option of rsync? It sounds like you
were and it's
extremely slow. I knew somebody who once went to
extraordinary lengths to
avoid the overhead of -c, making a big patch to rsync to
your database to tell you which extents have
data that has been modified within a certain timeframe?
