Hi,
I've looked into your branch. It looks good, I think it would be good
if you created a Review Request so we can polish the current state of
the patch and build upon. At the moment it looks like it should work
provided some issues are fixed. It's an promising start.

The hard part will be to nail down the ::compareAndRequestFiles
algorithm and make sure it's called when it should.

Have you made any research on how others do it? (e.g. dropbox, owncloud, etc)

Cheers!
Aleix
