I first learned to use rsync in the hope that it would provide a similar
two-way synchronization solution, and when I failed to find a switch, I
went so far as to submit a Request for Enhancement, but that really
isn't what rsync is designed for.  I rigged up a shell script called
"msync" similar to yours but that is reluctant to delete things; this
script and a corresponding "msync-rm" are attached in case you are
interested.

Try Unison instead.  It is available here:
