The fossil export command has the options --export-marks and --import-marks
for storing and reading RIDs of exported data in a named file. The first
time you create an export to a specific, intended receiving repo, you use
just --export-marks. After that, use bothso that only the new RIDs (since
the previous export) will be exported.

The fossil import command has an --incremental option. This is used to
process export archives created with the --export-marks option.

Some experimentation would be needed to work out a procedure for 2-way sync
via export/import, but I'm sure it could be done.

Of course, I would hope that the issues with incremental import/export in
Git have been resolved.
