Example of how unisync works
============================

Let's say you have the following structure::

        $ tree .
        .
        ├── big_file
        └── folder
            ├── file
            └── other_file

If you only want to synchronise `folder` and its content on your laptop the following will be automatically generated::

        $ tree .
        .
        ├── big_file -> ../.data/big_file
        └── folder
            ├── file
            └── other_file

`big_file` is now a symbolic link and by mounting the remote directory you can still seemlessly access `big_file` through the network.
