a)
the mirror script being talked about uses two passes through the
archive to minimize this problem
b)
with --delay-updates (new sarge option), the problem goes away
as best as it can in any case, as all files are mirrored elsewhere,
and then renamed into place when they are all there.

The use of --delay-updates for the indices does this already, but I don't
think the script has been updated in many places.
