Fixed a bug with double trailing slashes in certain sceanrios - Sync execution don't fails anymore if files vanish during execution, also vanished files get logged - Add eventual "comm -23" replacement by "grep -F -x -v -f" to enhance compatibility with other platforms (comm is still much faster than grep, so we keep it) - Replaced xargs rm with find -exec rm to better handle file names in soft deletion - Fixed soft deletion not happening with relative paths - Improved process termination behavior - More code merging and cleanup - Fixed a bug preventing deleted files in subdirectories propagation (Thanks to Richard Faasen for pointing that out) - Some more function merge in sync process - Dry mode won't create or modifiy state files anymore and will use dry-state files instead -
