The /stage folder is used to build up parts of the changed directory
structure and transfer them over in one swell foop (to avoid a race with
the upset cron job, where it could catch the uploader in mid-update and
result in a broken setup.ini).
In short, you should not mirror that directory, as nothing in there is
going to be useful on a mirror.

You probably caught the uploader in the act of moving files from /stage to
/release.
