SyWiCo is a tool for managing concurrent
modifications of shared files between unconnected
computers. It can be used as a synchronization
tool relying on email. Its main design goal was
for synchronizing the source code by email between
developers, when the use of a source control
software is not possible. The communication is
stateless and reduced to a very small number of
messages, typically 2 or 4. It does not create any
files in the directories that it synchronizes, and
leaves one participant free from dealing with
merging and conflict resolution. This is not a
tool to replace source control programs, as it
provides no versioning.
