..don't we _first_ wanna check _whether_ the mirror is fresh?  
And _thenafter_ chk the Archive-Update-in-Progress-$RSYNC_HOST 
file to confirm a clean mirror?

..e.g. like wget -c http://$RSYNC_HOST/$RSYNC_DIR/project/trace/  
or some such and then chk|cmp|diff|etc the trace/* for freshness?

..there is an rsync way, how?
