Honestly, I've also been scared to use replica/pull.  ☺
So, I setup a terminal with local HDD, and it does only replica/pull
from sources.plan9.bell-labs.com.  And then, I also do replica/pull
from that local machine to our file server...   In this case, I can re-
examine with enough time to see what is different!

I just read Russ's Tra page, however, it seems to me not so easy to
grasp at a glance.   I'm now suffering from discripancy between
new control(2) library and our applications written by Yoshitatsu.
Most of the problem is comming from his confusion of channel
usage(☺), however, I have to rewrite them before the start of next
semester...

mind you, it's not clear what you're supposed to do when you get lots
of such messages to resolve them in a safe way.  i finally got around
to trying to use replica to synchronise from our fileserver to my
laptop, and got 22602 such lines; when i actually went through and did
a cmp of all those files, it turned out that only 192 were genuinely
different.  i didn't find replica easy to use!

then i tried tra, which was altogether easier...  and surprisingly
quick, considering the amount of data that it was shifting.  i was a
little surprised to find it indexing in directories that i thought i'd
excluded, though.

  cheers,
