Also, at some point we might introduce a notion of submodules, similar
to git submodules, and if necessary each submodule could potentially be
synced using a different protocol. However, this is way beyond the
present needs. For now, simply extending the rsync module to allow
syncing of sub-directories should be sufficient (though I would not
expose the ability to sync arbitrary directories through the user
interface).
