Sync a local and a remote directory with rsync over sshfs (e.g. when you only have sftp access). Note the defer_permissions option and the -c (checksum) flag. Tested on OS X with rsync 2.6.9 and sshfs 2.4.0 (fuse4x 0.9.2).
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

These options will make things really slow, since rsync will have to first read the entire file over sshfs (to get a checksum).
I'm using these:
--whole-file prevents it having to read the file in order to figure out what the difference is.
--inplace prevents a bunch of lstats and renames
