I'm currently in the same position, and the solution I've proposed (and am currently working on) involves using a central repository (likely git). The puppet client (running on the master) simply checks the current master branch on the remote repository -- if the revisions are not the same, it just pulls a new copy.
While I've not implemented this, yet ... I'm guessing it should work. Anyone have any better ideas -- perhaps a check-in hook to trigger at export?
