[TxMt] syncmate

[Jay Soffian]

A common refrain on this list is being able to edit files remotely. I  
explored various solutions (transmit, subversion, hotkey), but  
decided that ultimately what I wanted was something that would just  
watch one or more local files I was editing and then as they change,  
automatically upload them to a remote destination.

So I spent some time last night hacking together syncmate (python  
script), attached:

Usage: syncmate <file> [<file>...] [username@]host:/remote/path/

Watches one or more files for changes and copies to host whenever the
file changes locally. The first time called, starts an instance of  
syncmate
as a daemon. Each subsequent time called registers new files with the  
running
daemon.

Usage: syncmate --list

Lists registered files

Usage: syncmate --quit

Causes daemon to quit

It requires the Growl python bindings be installed for notification  
(btw, I had trouble with the Growl python bindings occasionally  
causing python to crash, but I think I've narrowed the problem down  
to attempting to use a custom icon in the notifications, so I've left  
that out.)

Anyway, I find this useful in combination with textmate, so I figured  
I'd post it here. Hope someone else finds it useful.
