That won't catch a lot of edits that fix simple things like typos.
Or the edit I just made that changed a parameter from 4 to 8.
Are you trying to use the web site as serious backup storage, or just keep a (small) set of files out there where others can get them?
If I was trying to keep a mirror on a web site up to date, I'd write a script to copy everything out there and run it whenever I added or updated something.
That's assuming that you don't delete things. For deletes, I'd probably do them by hand until I had done enough of them to get annoyed and/or figure out what I wanted to do.
