[GD-General] file synchronization software

[Enno R. <en...@de...>]

Some time last year, someone on this list suggested a piece of software. It 
was used to keep assets in sync over several machines, like rsync but with a 
few extra features (like keeping up to n backup copies).

I cannot remember the name. It was a command line tool, it was free, and 
there was a linux client and server that I tried out back then.

Can anyone help me remember?

I think it may have been Unison: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

As usual, I spent 30 minutes of searching through the list archives before I 
posted, then 5 minutes later, the name pops into my head: unison.
