Look at Git for distributing a file tree of small to mid-size files. I found it was very close to rsync for both full and incremental updates. Make sure you're using the smart protocol over HTTP and then you can do authentication as well; the native Git protocol is a little faster than HTTP but it's insecure. For large files, rsync will win every time. But I've been considering Twitter's Murder (https://github.com/lg/murder) or something like it because it is truly distributed and significantly faster if you have multiple data centers.
