This is the major advantage of using rsync.  When you must sync a large
number of files, it is *very* efficient.

For our purposes, we just care that we can gather all of the necessary
files.  This can be as simple as downloading the latest manifest and
then fetching all changed files within the manifest.  This was one of
the reasons I had suggested a "last updated" value for the items in the
manifest at the microphone at the SIDR meeting.
