I looked into the history hoping to find a comment when the option was
introduced, but the --size-only has been there since Borut's initial
check-in of both files that I've seen it used.

Looking further, it seems that the default timestamp on files created
during the svn checkout reflect the time they were checked out, rather
than the time they were last committed. In that case, rsync would be
trying to update all the web site files every day since there was a
fresh checkout from svn every day. I think we can change how the
timestamps are set on checkout, but I need to read more of the svn
documentation to understand this better first.
