Maybe getting away from the fundamental idea of directionality isn't at all possible, or at least implicit directionality? Consider this - whenever there is a sync operation, regardless of which direction that sync occurs, there is (perhaps) a direction of flow of traffic, at the lowest of levels, despite there being (simultaneous) bi-directional flow that may occur in parallel. For instance, if you define location A as "parent/remote" and B as "child/local", then in the context of the A->B sync, while B->A is occurring, there is directional flow, is there not?
So, with that in mind, how about: "head" and "heel" ?
