But that doesn't really account for allowing modifications on any
machine. It would work OK for mirroring, but if you start making
modifications via different machines it quickly becomes hellish to
manage with rsync.

Mirrors is what I use now. I want better.
I even want to be able to make changes concurrently on
different machines. Git or Bazaar sound like obvious candidates but the
.git repository ends up just as large as the photo collection itself,
and doubling the disk space used is not my idea of a good solution (and
then we have the problem of the metadata database, of course).
