rsync allows to sync the latest source for a particular main version (eg. Squid 4 or Squid 5).
However, it does not allow to pull in squid v. 4's source code published on Jan 28th 2019 just like I would get by downloading squid-4.5-20190128-r568e66b7c.tar.gz.
Furthermore, I'm guessing that the "daily" tarballs that are published on the web site's download page are hand-picked because they are known to solve bugs, and are considered to be somewhat "stable". For instance, if I were to rsync today would I get the same code as that of the above mentioned tarball?

Another simple solution would be to be able to list the files in the /Versions/v4/ directory, but it is not allowed by the server.
