to synchronize a Mac's settings with my testing machine's:

		upload:

			do step when changes are made on vegbiendev > on your machine, download

			ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu

				(cd ~/Dropbox/svn/; up)

			on your machine:

				rm ~/'Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/9oo8rcyn.default/ImapMail/imap.googlemail.com/[Gmail].sbd/Spam'

					# remove the downloaded Spam folder, because spam e-mails often contain viruses that would trigger clamscan

				overwrite=1 del=      sync_local_dir=~/Dropbox/svn/ sync_remote_subdir=Dropbox/svn/ bin/sync_upload --size-only # just update mtimes

					then review diff, and rerun with `l=1` prepended

				overwrite=1 inplace=1 sync_local_dir=~              sync_remote_subdir=             bin/sync_upload ~/"VirtualBox VMs/**" # need inplace=1 because they are very large files

					then review diff, and rerun with `l=1` prepended

				overwrite=1           sync_local_dir=~              sync_remote_subdir=             bin/sync_upload --exclude="/Library/Saved Application State" --exclude="/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/9oo8rcyn.default/global-messages-db.sqlite" --exclude="/.Trash" --exclude="/bin" --exclude="/bin/pg_ctl" --exclude="/bin/unzip" --exclude="/Dropbox/home" --exclude="/.profile" --exclude="/.shrc" --exclude="/.bashrc" --exclude="/software/**/.svn"

					then review diff, and rerun with `l=1` prepended

				stop Dropbox: system tray > Dropbox icon > gear icon > Quit Dropbox

					this prevents Dropbox from trying to capture filesystem

					events while syncing

				overwrite=1           sync_local_dir=~              sync_remote_url=~/Dropbox/home  bin/sync_upload --exclude="/Library/Saved Application State" --exclude="/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/9oo8rcyn.default/global-messages-db.sqlite" --exclude="/.Trash" --exclude="/.dropbox" --exclude="/Documents/BIEN" --exclude="/Dropbox" --exclude="/software" --exclude="/VirtualBox VMs/**.sav" --exclude="/VirtualBox VMs/**.vdi" --exclude="/VirtualBox VMs/**.vmdk"

					then review diff, and rerun with `l=1` prepended

				start Dropbox: /Applications > double-click Dropbox.app
