Bah. I've deleted the original message.

We've missed something fundamental - there is no safety whatsoever in
re-rsyncing during a testing run. The rsync server may have moved on.
If you rsync to a later patch midway through a series of tests you ruin
the experiment, as the whole idea of the thing is to build the same
source in a variety of configurations.

I shall now shut up, as I figure I've done my side of this to death.
