At least the GUI version of Unison won't have this issue; it displays a <br>
list of changes that it is going to propagate, and you have the option <br>
to abort the sync, or tell it to sync only a subset of the changes. I <br>
have never used the text-mode version of Unison, but I imagine it works <br>
the same.<br>
<br>
As Bob mentioned, it will run over SSH just fine. SSH is 100% the <br>
easiest way to sync between machines. While I do have a VPN between some <br>
of my machines, I still sync over SSH on top of the VPN simply because <br>
this is simple and "just works"; no need to mess around setting up <br>
anything else when SSH is already there.<br>
