Fedora Unity currently has a hack of a solution using a modified Yam. I like the idea of an instant mirror that doesn't have to be pre-synced but there are some use cases where having the full mirror local is useful. http://damaestro.us/Members/jon/repo_sync-0.2-1.src.rpm It still needs a lot of work. We (Fedora Unity) were planning on adding a hosted projected called 'reflector'. Maybe these two efforts should join forces?
I took a quick look at your code. It seems that you have yet another implementation of an rsync wrapper that everyone seems to write for to manage their own mirror server. It would be good to make this into a proper upstream project and to have people collaborate on it. This however is an entirely different use-case than the proposed InstantMirror project.
You would use reflector to populate a traditional mirror, while InstantMirror operates as a proxy cache mirror. I suppose the two could optionally work together to pre-populate the InstantMirror cache directories, but these are two distinctly different projects.
