Something like that. It is when you have a set of documents on one computer
and you want to maintain an exact set of copies of those same documents on
another computer, or another disk. The brute force is to copy all the
documents over. The smart way is to use some kind of synchronization tool
that will be easily able to determine which files have been modified and
will copy only those.

flowchart n.: [techspeak] An archaic form of visual control-flow
specification employing arrows and 'speech balloons' of various shapes.
Hackers never use flowcharts, consider them extremely silly, and associate
them with COBOL programmers, card wallopers, and other lower forms of life.
This attitude follows from the observations that flowcharts (at least from a
hacker's point of view) are no easier to read than code, are less precise,
and tend to fall out of sync with the code (so that they either obfuscate it
rather than explaining it, or require extra maintenance effort that doesn't
improve the code). See also PDL, sense 1.
