How about excluding all files listed in .gitignore from rsync?  Which I
guess would be a good idea anyway because you don't want sync over the
build artifacts to the target machine if you want compile there.  Might
be as simple as "rsync --exclude-from .gitignore" (didn't test though).

Or syncronize using git instead of rsync.  This is what I am doing.
