Recursively synchronize all items under a certain item (using the REST API)

hi,

in certain development stages i would like to make sure that all items under a certain root item (recursively) are synchronized.
AFAIK this is not possible in the UI (the project-level batch sync dialog does not recursively list all synced items but just the direct child items) but would it be possible to do using the REST API?
Finding the items with 

GET /items/{id}/synceditems/{syncedItemId}/syncstatus

looks straight-forward but i could not find a way to actually perform the synchronization from the synceditem.

thx
