Comment:

 This is pretty cool stuff. I'm hesitant about landing it in Tahoe core,
 though.. at least in its present form, it feels more like something that
 wants to be in a plugin, or in an extensions/ sort of directory. If it
 were a more complete Dropbox-ish replacment, I'd feel better about it:
 watching all directories under a root, handling modification of existing
 files not just new ones, and ideally some kind of multiple-client support.
 (as is, it's more like an automatic backup tool than a sync-a-virtual-
 directory-across-multiple-machines tool).

 Can you envision maintaining its current UI for a couple years? Or do you
 think you'll look at it in six months and go "oh, that should really look
 like X instead".
