Except now we're relying on a 3rd party tool which might cause Windows
uses some problems. It looks like there are versions for cygwin and
installers that do cygwin+rsync as one step so it's not insurmountable,
just inconvenient.

My other question with this would be locking. I'm pretty sure there's
next to no risk of getting an inconsistent repo state from the read end
(given our algorithms) but the target repo could have other updates
happening concurrently and rsync would be ignorant of this. Could that
cause a problem vs an intelligent bzr command/plug-in?
