picasa post: add option to sync files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Say I upload 100 files to an album in picasa.  Later, I edit a few of them.  It 
would be nice to be able to say

google picasa post --sync *.jpg

and have it figure out which files were changed and just replace those files.

Also, if you have 100's of albums, there is no option to sync them all at once. 
It would save lot of time time to have command line that starts to sync an 
album.

Attached a "simple" sync patch. It means only skips the existing files 
depending on which tasks are running (post or get). 

By the moment, it does not figure out the changed files. I've started a 
discussion here:

if is possible to "mount" as a file system , we can rsync it.

I've starred the issue, but I wanted to say "me too."  It'd be wonderful to be 
able to do incremental download and upload.  As a first step, syncing only new 
files would be great.  It looks like the discussion thread has information 
about a checksum field that would make detecting changed files feasible.

Would merging the naive implementation be a reasonable thing to do so this bug 
can move forward? 

The case of photos changing but their identifiers staying the same is something 
one could encounter trivially, granted. As long as the limitations are made 
clear, though, I think this patch would provide value to users.
