drawbacks:
- It creates a single (potentially really big) directory of files on
the receiver for the byinode/* files.

Indeed, it more or less assumes you have a filesystem which handles this
well. Your other observations are also quite correct.
I had been thinking of extending the db patch to add the ability to
track files by checksum in a database. This would allow a run that used
the DB to be an efficient checksum run (reading the checksums from the
DB, not slowly generating them) and look up matching checksums in the DB
I missed the first part of the discussion, and I may be off-base, but
you may want to look at unison and how it handles its database.

Where rsync is stateless, unison is stateful. You're talking about
making rsync stateful.
