It is extremely flexible about > choosing which file to sync. I know git-annex. It is very powerful, yes. BTDT. I don't want that: I don't want to have a central server. I don't want versioning on all files. I doubt the performance and efficiency with binaries in git. I consider myself rather advanced in IT but the complexity of git-annex is a bit scary to me. YMMV and this is OK. Syncthing seems to be exactly the tool of choice for me for now: very simple to set up, nice and simple clients for every important platform[1] and yet powerful enough in case I need anything advanced. BUT: My email was not about «what is a sync tool that allows for complex ignore patterns» but rather «how are you using your ignore patterns with Org-mode files to avoid issues». So: do you sync everything of your Org-mode directory? If not: what are you ignoring? What is your experience especially when changing hosts? And the question which sums up probably all the related issues I can think of by now: How do you sync Org-mode files, avoid temp data being synced while preventing unsaved data lost.
