The original InstantMirror certainly has its limitations, but in its
defense I would point out that it's survived a couple of years of
constant use as the default Fedora repo at my company, with zero
maintenance (I'm not even sure where the machine hosting it has
gone...).
(See

for some background on this tool.)
I see the old bzr repository is no more; I'd be happy to host the
current version of the code (all 120 lines of it) elsewhere if anyone
is interested in using or extending it. Perhaps I should rename it to
avoid confusion with the new-and-improved InstantMirror?
