Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

Franco and Shane - I will definitely check cpdup out. Georges suggestion is neat, sadly for this usage pattern zfs isn't ideal - lack of memory, files are transferred between freebsd and linux etc. but it's definitely something I'll have to remember
for the future.

Greg, I've actually put some thought in making a local port of rsync2. I've done some research on it and it seems to be fairly usable and security patched still.

One of my users is needing rsync like functionality to transfer changed contents of some directories between couple of machines. As rsync 3 isn't open source, but GPL3 it's out of question in order to keep the system untainted.

The software should be relatively lightweight - no fullblown mirroring/backup is needed. Also hints how to achieve similar ends using maybe tar/ssh might do.
