You could also have a look at unison
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/
It's based on the rsync protocol and works both directly from
directory to directory or over ssh. There is a gtk graphical frontend
and it runs both under Linux an Windows.
It hasn't been actively maintained for some time but as they say:
"However, the original developers are still using Unison daily." 
I use it mainly to sync thing on my laptop to the network.
When syncing you can name the mastercopy in case of conflicts. It also
deletes stuff on the slave, when deleted on the master.
