Just run mirror with the -T timestamp option when you change the site
you're mirroring.
The -T option doesn't transfer files, it only touches the dates of existing
local files to make then match the remote site.
I think that's what you're looking for.
It's certainly what *I* was looking for when i switched mirrors :-)
