They won't hit all your needs but consider one or more of:

0. https://librsync.github.io/ (used by dropbox and used in rdiff-backup, duplicity, ,...)

1. https://github.com/axkibe/lsyncd (from a google engineer)

2. https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ (the B Pierce)

3. Just rsync or rclone[a] in a loop or triggered with incron (http://inotify.aiken.cz/?section=incron&page=about&lang=en)

a. https://rclone.org/

ps. Just found this in the ostree mailing list:

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/ostree-list/2018-February/ms...

>> "Is ostree able to generate some kind of binary file containing the required diffs to get from one commit to another, which can be transferred to / copied on the ostree-host and then applied to the repository (similar to a git patch)?

> This is what `ostree static-delta generate --filename` will do, combined with `ostree static-delta apply-offline`"
