This is a bit off topic for owncloud list, so I will not respond again
after this mail to the list, but you can send directly to my personal
address and we can continue to discuss.

My findings were like below, running on Windows, last test on June
10th/2012,

1) while repeat watch is running, If you delete a folder that contains
files in it, unison deletes the files, but do not delete the folder on the
other side. Somehow, it forgets that it also has to delete the folder.

For folders which do not contain any file inside, it works perfectly.

2) When a file is open for editing (but not saved yet) on the remote side,
if this file is deleted from local side, the repeat watch deletes the file
also from remote side.  If the file is now saved again by the remote side,
then it does not re-appear (re-sync) back to the local side.
