You're probably asking for merkle/hash tree based synchronization of
sets. That's
how monotone does it right now.

There is simpler (and easier  that netsync) Python implementation of it on
net.venge.monotone.dumb branch. After throwing monotone hooks it should
be able to synchronize anything that has unique signature (it doesn't
have to be SHA1)
and serializable to bytes.

So ... anything.
