Those all sound great, I've needed to sub-divide the rsync's myself
for a while now. Jason's suggestion of breaking down to the architecture
level if possible would be good too, I see a lot of mirror sites that don't
carry all the architectures.
May I add the suggestion of publicizing somewhere(s) exactly when the
ports get updated? If it's a routine weekly thing and more or less
always predictable putting that in a FAQ somewhere so that the mirror
sites only hammer on ftp-master for ports shortly after they were
supposed to change you might lower the load on ftp-master. It seems
like the ports updates are a roughly weekly thing but I don't think I
have ever seen anyone say that.

I know the purpose of that and I've got an rsync that does it. But can
someone else with more rsync experience than me say whether having a
module that does this can be configured to work? I could be mistaken
but it could be the case that a pull using that module would need to
never delete files. Otherwise it would remove the ports directory, the
branches directory, etc. I do this in my rsync by excluding the ports,
branches, etc. explicitly and I don't use --delete-excluded on that one
so it just ignores those sub-directories and doesn't touch the contents.
I might be missing something though... :-/
