Comment (by knarf):

 I do have a couple of complete Cactus checkouts - and at least three of
 them I usually sync to various machines. This can create space issues on
 /home directories with quotas. This is mainly a space-issue then.

 The other problem are machines where single-file IO is slow, thus a
 simfactory sync is painfully slow because we have so many files, and most
 of these files are actually testsuite data files. I do want to transfer
 these files, but I usually don't need to have them plain within my
 checkout.
