I'm currently working on a tool that would do such a transformation as a 
"preprocessing". I.e. - the files are preprocessed, and then the other 
directory is rsynced. In my case this is for encrypting (but I compress 
as part of the process, using the gzip "rsyncable" option).

If you're interested in this extremely preliminary pre-alpha not tested 
still being developed use at your own risk project, check out 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rsyncrypto

P.s.
Currently, it's just the encryption part that I've worked on. The code 
in CVS (there is no other code at the moment) does not handle the actual 
tree scanning and copying, but it will soon. It goes without saying that 
any help would be appreciated.
