It hasn't been productized, but approximately:
    unsquashfs  old-Live.img  old-Live.tree   # local  ("slave")
    unsquashfs  new-Live.img  new-Live.tree   # remote ("master")
    rsync  remote:new-Live.tree  local:old-Live.tree   # "delta compression" happens here
    mksquashfs  old-Live.tree new-Live.img   # local
