[Unison-hackers] [unison-users] unison.tmp files

[Adam Griffiths]

OK i see. I have never programed caml before so I'm a bit stuck. I looks
like I need to edit lines some of the stuff between 368..382 and 137..147
could anyone help me workout what changes to make?

Thanks

Adam

PS, it seems more appropriate to continue this thread on the unison-hackers
mailing list.
