I'm not quite sure what you want to have happen in the case of
colliding files. If you want A to override XYZ, B to override that,
and C to override that then you could simply transfer all four trees
in that order:
rsync -avz --delete xyz/ otherguy:/foo
rsync -avz a/ otherguy:/foo
rsync -avz b/ otherguy:/foo
rsync -avz c/ otherguy:/foo
Alternatively, if you want the most recently modified file from a, b,
and c to win, you could use the --update option:
rsync -avz --delete xyz/ otherguy:/foo
rsync -auvz a/ otherguy:/foo
rsync -auvz b/ otherguy:/foo
rsync -auvz c/ otherguy:/foo
If this is not what you wanted please try to expand on your example.
