Joey Hess' git-annex[1] also looks very interesting :)

Yes, I discovered this a few months ago, there are great ideas in
git-annex!  For the moment, I use git alone to manage my files and
I plan to use Plan 9's Venti to store files 'forever'.

Something like Unison?


That works extremely well; Thanks, Camaléon.

Cheers, Tony

directory synchronisation

2012-01-21 Thread Tony van der Hoff

Hi,

I need to keep a few directories in mutual synchronisation between my 
laptop and my desktop. Currently I'm doing this using rsync.


It is necessary to perform the synchronisation both ways, so I run rsync 
twice, pushing and pulling. That means that I have to remember to update 
the script in two places if the file specification changes (or set 
variables).


Whilst this is usable, I can't help but think it's a bit clumsy. Does 
anyone know of a replacement for (or addition to) rsync that will 
synchronise both ways?


Thanks, Tony
