If you're worried about collisions/race conditions, you could reduce the
race window to an arbitrarily small timeframe by having your sync
scripts hold an advisory lockfile on the public-facing machine.

Then, assuming everyone is using the same publishing scripts and has
access to the archive's secret key, you can ensure that you're
transmitting only the latest updates.

In that case, you probably want to sync conf/ and db/ (in addition to
dists/ and pool/) to ensure that everything is updated properly.
(you'll also want to ensure that everyone is using compatible versions
of reprepro).

OK, this is OT enough for gnupg-users now that i recommend following up
off-list if you need to.
