I also have a little script that uses rsync's --list-only output to
generate a list to feed to --files-from that takes an arbitrary begin
date, so I can pack them into daily or weekly sized units, which would
be less work for Ariel and WMF.

That's not too hard to do. You just copy the image tree with hardlinks,
making a version. Then the next rsync will only replace modified images.
(Unless you manually added the --inplace parameter, but in such case you
supposedly know what you're doing)
You could also use --link-dest instead of manaully building hardlink copies.
