Ops, didn't know about this one... Subscribed, thanks.

Since you're cleaning it up you might also have a look at the
non-existent entries in md5sums.gz that I mentioned about a month ago:

Subject: indices/md5sum.gz has many non-existent entries
X-Mailer: VM 7.19 under Emacs 21.4.1

I ran md5sum -c indices/md5sum (after uncompressing it). All checksums
are fine. I also checked that all files in the tree are listed in md5sum.

That's all as it should be BUT there are many files listed in md5sum
that are not found:

md5sum: WARNING: 71960 of 468165 listed files could not be read

"could not be read" because they don't exist, without exception. I did
this right after running a successful rsync with syncproxy. So either
syncproxy is not complete or indices/md5sum has many bogus entries...
