[Unison-hackers] treating some directories atomically, and ignoring socket files

[Benjamin C. Pierce]

Thanks for the patches, Julian.  I’ve just (belatedly) committed them to the unison trunk.  

I made one small change: instead of 

Pred.test Globals.atomic (Name.toString n)

I used

	Pred.test Globals.atomic (Path.toString path) 

for consistency with other predicates.

Best,

   - Benjamin
