It should be doable in some circumstances, but not in others. For
example, I cannot imagine using rsync to report that
"web2c-2010-w32.tar.bz2" doesn't exist on Akira's server any more.

When I think a bit ... the most elegant way to review the changes
would be some JS-based HTML page where one could open & close "tabs"
with changes (so that one still has), for example:

- differences from Akira's server (4)
  (and then one can open it to see which files have been changes)
- new versions of ConTeXt (3)
  (and then one can open it to see which versions have been uploaded)
- fonts (300)
  (300 files have been changed; open to see which ones)

but then it would take me too much time to figure out:
- where to store the data (database?)
- how to create a nice html with appropriate javascript
