Yes, I rely on this.

What does rsync say? If there was no content change the log should
show a large amount of matched data and little literal data.

I think mirrors should exclude what doesn't change after pulling, to
make it easier on upstream rsyncs. Here's my current list:

EXCLUDE="\
         --exclude /linux/core \
         --exclude /linux/extras \
         --exclude /linux/releases/[7-9] \
         --exclude /linux/releases/10 \
         --exclude /linux/updates/[78] \
         --exclude /linux/updates/testing/[78] \
        "
