Re:Unison (Score 1)

My point about conflicts not being resolve automatically was to emphasize the relative fragility of such a requirement. Unless you set a rule about which system trumps the other in this type of scenario, it will not always be possible to resolve conflicts. Work will be lost. As with most of the off-the-cuff requests you see here, the devil really is in the details with respect to trade-offs, etc. We simply don't know enough from the original post to do anything but offer guesses as to what might the poster think he/she was asking for in the first place. Then again, if the poster had very specific requirements in the first place, perhaps he/she wouldn't be asking us what we think they need. (As usual?) Automating unison does not require a work-around. It is already documented. Automatically resolving real conflicts is an entirely different issue. It won't happen. Automatically forcing overwrite on an unattended sync is easy. Just use '-force'. Either choose to live with some manual intervention, or some certainty that things will be lost, and in the best case, just woefully difficult to track/troubleshoot. There is no magic solution here. (As usual?)
