Can't you use rsync on the raw encrypted volume since linux disk
encryption is block-based?
My understanding is that rsync also works equally well for syncing a
single large file where little of it has changed.
Just an idea,

I'd considered that, unfortunately, three issues arose. One, I've
earmarked 20 GB for my encrypted homedir for plenty of growth. It's
currently over 4 GB of stuff I actually want there. Two, even if I
shrink it, I can't assume I'll always have a fat pipe from my laptop.
And three, I want user login to still be as quick and transparent as
possible. Since very little changes in my homedir from one login to the
next, rsyncing the data inside makes much more sense.
I'm currently looking at the openssh API to ssh-agent and once I have
that figured out I'll take a look at wedging it into cryptsetup. Not
sure from a crypto perspective if that approach is tight, but I'll carry
on till I'm told otherwise. :)
