Which is a royal PITA. Being re-directed to a site that is either not in sync or is off line is not good. Perhaps the system doing the re-direction can check the site before doing the re-directing.
That's exactly what we are doing -- but checking for files that don't have a version number (like the files in /repodata/), isn't trivial.

Just "matching" is the point. First compare the size, second the date, and allow full-hour differences (if the size was matching). Further you can keep a "history" of the repodata file sizes to guess better if "ancient" or "actual". Or just start an "rsync --dry-run" regularly where possible and "trust" the server as a whole if nothing would be to transfer. Even more refinable: do not redirect to any file listed in the rsync's output.
