I've been using a program called Unison. It doesn't synchronize 
everything automatically, but it is nonetheless pretty nice. First you 
set up one or more profiles, which specify one local and one remote 
directory to keep in sync. Then, each time you run it, you select a 
profile. Then Unison shows a list of the actions it is going to take, 
and you can either accept the whole list or choose specific items.
