Just adding some information here: The two-way synchronizer Unison,
which I referred to here, is in the Fedora.us QA queue; I updated the
package to the latest beta version (2.10.2). The Bugzilla URL is
http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1069
for the benefit of anyone who wants to try out two-way sync tools. I
find this extremely useful and I think that this might be part of a
useful model for cached clients. (I'm not really sure if Unison is the
perfect implementation, in part since it's written in the mildly obscure
language Ocaml, but I think it's a nice demo of the possibilities.)

The Unison home page is located at
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ .
