You might try using the --update (-u) option to only allow updated
files: i.e. files with newer modification times to override files with
older modification times.  See also the "unison" command, which is
designed to be a two way synchronization process, and so it has code in
it to check for deleted files, and files changed by both sides before
re-synchronizing.
