another thing I'd like to add: If I only want to search two subfolders foo/ and bar/ (and/including their respective subfolders) in the base sync directory (that contains other folders irrelevant for the comparison), how could I specify that? I tried "foo/ bar/", but a) that will also include files in the base directory and b) won't recurse into subdirs of foo/ and bar/
