[ubuntu-za] Sync folders using git

[Daniël Louw]

Thanks for all the input, but I actually came right with unison.
It does indeed remember deleted files. You just have to set up the thing
right from the start.

Initially I used Unison to copy all my files to the remote
location/directory. Doing this works, but Unison then does not remember
deleted files correctly. Manually copying everything over and making sure
that both copies are identical, works. The initial sync then obviously
produces no results, but Unison will then remember all deleted files,
and propagate a deletion to the other copy.
