Maybe Unison do what you're looking for.

http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

"Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows two 
replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different 
hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then 
brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other."
