It sounds like a fun fix to come up with, but I'm already swamped trying
ot finish tens of unfinished things, so by all means, go ahead if you
have time/interest in fixing it!

Some thoughts I had:

Not sure if rsync produces some kind of lock file while they're busy
updating the tree; if they do it could be useful to avoid re-indexing
while it's actively syncing.

It would be even nicer to send some signal to mumi when rsync completes,
which would notify it to re-index.

Other things that may be useful: inotify to keep track of new/updated
files.

Happy hacking!
