"Hundreds" is not a big number for rsync - but many thousands might be since it
will always transfer the whole directory listing for the comparison. If you
have room for another local copy of the files you might rsync locally, then
repeat to the remote only if files were transferred. Otherwise you'll at least
need to write a script that touches a file to set a current timestamp, then runs
find -newer to detect modified files in the tree in question - or hook to
inotify which always seemed experimental to me.
