Seems good.

It'd be nice if there were links to details about how the reverse rsync
algorythm in used, tho.

Also, I've had this idea, to use rdiff to generate the checksums, on the
server.  If rdiff supported a reverse rsync algo(it currently doesn't), then
it would make integration with other tools simplistic(thing a wrapper around
wget and rdiff).
