The problem as I've understood it is conflict resolution, not diffing. Rsync only does one-way sync so it does not help much here.

  I guess you can have a distributed locking mechanism, either scope or line-driven. Another option would be when there is a conflict you have a fork, and then re-merge at a later point (eg. when scope-specific changes are complete or scope is left or syntax is re-evaluated as valid), more similar to git style workflow. Which begs the question, why not just use an established RCS/VCS like git and build the interface in front of it, utilizing its built-in diff? However, this workflow probably detracts greatly from the real time intent...
